- Choose Colors: Select the paint colors you want to use for your chosen design. The kit provides a variety of vibrant colors.
- Apply Paint: Dip a brush into the paint of your choice. Gently tap off any excess paint. Carefully apply paint to the recessed areas of the stone's design. Use the fine-tip brush for intricate details and the wide-tip brush for larger sections.

Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean the painted stones, gently wipe them with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing, which may damage the paint.

However, prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions (e.g., heavy frost, intense direct sunlight for many years) may eventually affect their appearance. For maximum longevity, consider bringing them indoors during harsh winter months.
