Does anyone produce a 5 pointed star inlay?

Being from Texas I make and inlay lots of five pointed stars. Find a five pointed star print (of paper) and glue it onto a piece of flat brass or silver what ever you have,then cut off what isn't under the print. Be careful to just cut EXACTLY around the print before removing the print as it's hard to adjust after you remove the print. It won't be as exact as one stamped from a machine but it will be close enough and look allot more hand made.
