Draw a horizontal line wider than your star, using a ruler to make it absolutely straight. Draw an intersecting vertical line taller than your star and forming a right angle. Label the intersection "A."
2Open the compass so the measurement is half the size that you want your star. Put the point of the compass on mark "A." Make a circle with the compass that cuts through all the lines. Mark the spot that it intersects on the upper part of the vertical line as "B."
3Mark any point on the horizontal line between the edge of the circle and point "A." Label this as "C."
4Adjust the compass so the pencil touches point "B" and the point of the compass touches "C." Make an arc that intersects the horizontal line on the other side of point "A." Mark it as "D."
5Measure the distance from point "C" to "D." Use a ruler and this measurement. Start at point "B" and draw a line from there to the edge of the circle, on the inside. This is called a chord. Make a second line of the same distance from that point to a other spot on the circle. Do this all the way around until you are back to the original point. You now have a pentagon.
6Use a straight edge to connect every other corner of the pentagon. Start at point "B" and continue until corners are connected. This forms a pentagram, a perfect five pointed star.

Why did America use a 5 pointed star rather than a 6 pointed one?
The mathematics of the 5 pointed star and the pentagon include the Fibonacci ratios (Golden Mean= PHI and little phi) ad infinitum. Thus these symbols can be regarded as "NATURE' and "SCIENCE" which the Catholic Church suppressed and seemed to abhor for centuries. Owing to the number of Masons active in the formation of United States ( which by the way was a reaction to religious dogma), they used these symbols on our flag, as our military power( THE PENTAGON), and our military leaders wearing the highest degree of service being 5 star generals all wearing 5 5-pointed stars. Moreover, they believed GOD were represented on earth as a duality both male & female. Since "EVE"N numbers were considered female and ODD numbers considered male, the 1st female number is "2" and the 1st male number "3" and these add up to "5". Thus 5 represents the power of GOD being both male & female. Also, the product of 2 X 3 = SIX which represents the children of males & females and is the number of "MAN".
