Soon afterwards, stars start to fall from the sky. Heaven is rewarding the orphan girl for her generosity. She finds that she is wearing a new shirt made of fine linen.

Then fold both the corners on the right hand side in to meet the center, as if you were making a paper plane. Turn over the bill, and arrange it with the pointy bit facing upward. Then fold up the bottom edge and tuck it as far as it will go under the pointing-down triangle-shaped flap. Now it's time to slot them together.

Once you've slotted all the bills together, here's what the finished star looks like from the front and back. See how my white paper has turned into dollar bills?
