While you wait for the stripes to dry, go back to your dark solid bead. You are going to add some simple dots! I chose gold for the dots because I wanted them to stand out against the black. I found the easiest way to paint dots on these beads is to use the end of the paintbrush without the bristles. Gently dip it into the paint you want and hold it perpendicular to the bead. Touch the brush onto the bead and lift up. Feel free to practice on a paper towel before committing to the bead. Paint random dots onto your dark bead and let dry.
