You can use this star as an ornament for the Christmas tree or as decoration on a Christmas card or gift wrapping. It is a nice small project for your leftover yarn. The size of the star depends on the yarn weight and crochet hook you choose. The stars I crocheted as an example, are made with Scheepjes Stonewashed yarn and a 3.5 mm crochet hook. They measure approximately 7 cm.

Fasten off and weave in ends. For the best result, I would advise you to block the star. That will make the point of the star stand out better.
