Materials:

Water container
Palette or plastic plate
Paper towels
Rubbing alcohol
Toothpicks
#4 flat brush
Champagne flutes
#10/0 liner brush

Instructions:

Clean the champagne glasses with rubbing alcohol and paper towels. Let dry completely.
Use a #4 flat brush and Black Tie to paint the stems. Rinse brush. (You may have to touch up the stems after painting the fireworks).
Use a #10/0 liner brush and Silver to paint four fireworks on each flute. Rinse brush.
Use a toothpick dipped in Silver to add dots in the middle of each firework, working passed all the edges. Dip a separate toothpick in Yellow Gold to add more dots. (Try not to touch any of the Silver dots.)
Use a new toothpick and Cotton Ball to add more dots, spacing them out farther apart. Leave about 1-1/2" of unpainted area around the rim of the glass.
Continue adding more dots with Yellow Gold, Silver, and Cotton Ball so they look as if they are falling.
Allow to dry and follow Multi-Surface Acrylic label for curing times. Once they are fully cured, follow the label instructions for baking times to make them dishwasher safe.
