2. Next paint three additional petals, one 90 degrees to the left, one 90 degrees to the right, and one directly underneath. They will all point to the center. It will look like a cross.

3. Continue to place an additional petal in between each one in the cross pattern. This will help to create organization and structure for the design to form around. Once you have a star shape pattern, then you can start at one end, and just add petals across to the other end.

Easily add glitter by using a spray bottle with water, and spritzing the design lightly at least 12 inches away.  Use a poof-able cosmetic grade  glitter to add evenly all around. Use different colors to really create an effect
