On the page with just the recipe and not the blog, http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/cinnamon-star-bread-recipe , the picture shows a star that has more distinct and more pointy star points. It looks like instead of pinching the ends of the strips together, one is placed on top of the other. And, it looks like the strips in the picture on the other webpage are twisted TOWARD each other, not away from each other. (You can see this by looking at the bottom star tip and seeing a "V" shape to the twist instead of an upside down "V".) What is the best way to get the more pointy and distinct sections look to the star - putting the ends together, overlapping them, etc. or is there something else to the technique?
