7. Let the outliner paint dry completely before you continue. When you look at the lid at this point, you have to look hard to see the star shapes.

8. Now you can start using the glass cling paints to paint your project. The easiest is to start with the innermost star. Fill it with red glass cling paint. Then fill in the sections of the next star with white glass cling paint.
