2. Next, you’ll want to add three tiers of long rectangles on top.  Add the light that goes on the top of the TARDIS, using the light blue face paint. Add two windows on top, and a white square for the writing on the box.  Paint a line going down the middle for the doors.

5. Starting the medium flibert brush, and the rainbow splitcake, load both yellow and orange on to the brush. Start adding swirls around the TARDIS. Repeat using orange & red. Add blue swirls.

6. Finally, using the small round brush and the white, add the words “POLICE BOX” to the black bar at the top. Add dots and swirls around the box to make it come to life. Add yellow glitter at the top where the light is, and add blue glitter to the box.
