4.
Now get the Custom Shape Tool and go into your shapes and find the 5 Point Star.
Custom Shape Tool:
Settings and Shape:
Drawn star:
Add a layer mask by clicking the following button:
Then add in some intense grunge brushing in the layer mask.
Lastly for the star add some dark brown brushing on a new layer, then change the layer mode to Soft Light and lower the opacity to about 50%.
That will have made it look a bit more realistic.
5.
Repeat the exact same steps for the border for the star.
To finish this off, flatten the image then apply Filter > Sharpen > Sharpen, afterwards the Sharpen may need fading slightly.
Also, an optional thing is to also apply Filter > Render > Lighting Effects.
Not bad looking if I don’t say so myself 
Thanks for reading the tutorial.

Suggestion, use a more drastic lighting effect (Make it look like a torch has found this image on a wall in a pitch black room) and it looks photorealsitc
