Ideas
Here are a couple simple plywood topper stars with white rope light outlining the shape, zip-tied to the wood through some holes. Plywood was heavily painted with multiple coats of black to seal the wood. One was simply bolted onto the center post; on the other, a section of the post was cut out of the center and the star slipped inside and bolted through. No how-to is provided since the pictures are self-explanatory.
In the example below, the post and the topper were constructed out of black PVC with holes drilled in the topper ring for zip-ties. The strings would be looped over the zip ties and cinched-up to support the strings. The big hooks that the ring fits in were round-eye bolts that I put in a vise and opened the eye to form a hook.
