3. Create the Star Shape
Step 1
Enable the Grid (View > Show Grid) and the Snap to Grid (View > Snap to Grid). Using the Rectangle Tool (M), create a 130 x 45px shape, set the fill color at white and place it as shown in the first image.
Focus on the bottom side of this new rectangle, pick the Delete Anchor Point Tool (-) and simply click on the right anchor point to remove it. Keep focusing on the bottom side of your new shape, switch to the Direct Selection Tool (A), select the remaining anchor point and simply drag it 65px to the right. In the end things should look like in the second image.
