- Once the paint is dry, apply a thin layer of clear glue on the surface of the starfish.
- While the glue is still wet, generously sprinkle your crystals or glitter onto the glued areas.
- Set the starfish aside to let the glue dry and harden fully.
- If you want to hang your creation, use a small piece of twine or ribbon to create a loop at the top of your starfish, securing it with more glue if necessary.
