Tips & Warnings
Print out a Texas star design from the computer or use a Texas flag or design from a book. After your paint dries, paint a small white star on top of the blue section to give your Texas star a more completed flag look. The white star should be 1/4 the size of the original.
The lights in craft projectors can get very hot. As soon as the outline of the design is finished, remove the paper from underneath the projector, turn it off and unplug it to reduce the risk of fire.
