How to make
Begin by totally covering the white ceramic star with the dark blue acrylic paint. Allow to dry, before adding a second coat of paint.
Print the supplied template.
Transfer the details onto a sheet of tracing paper.
Scribble on the reverse in pencil over the lettering and stars. Place the tracing paper template onto the side of the star and draw over the lettering and star patterns again.
Use these light pencil marks as guidelines.
Repeat for the other side of the star.
Use the bright gold brush marker pen to brush-letter the word 'shine,' and the three star patterns.
Allow the ink to dry fully before writing on the other side of the star.
