I have done a few of these, did mine as follows. Applied the star first with one of the points pointing straight forward. Then cut all your stripes 2 inches longer than the longest one you need. About 5 or6 should do. making sure they are all the same width 5 inches back from the starting point. Apply the first stripe parallel to the fuse side. Then apply the other stripes working you way outward. As you apply them make sure the space between them at 5 inches back is the same as the width of your stripe at 5 inches back. I hope I have made this clear enough and what you call a starburst is what I have described. If not ask me at this post I'll check tomorrow.
