We will be be making the Star Of David shown above. The outline below has been resized a lot so you can see it clearly. 
To make this easier I have numbered all pixels over 1.
Step 1: Outline 
Open a new image 100 x 100 transparent. 
Select the brush tool with the following settings.
Size: 1 - Hardness, Opacity and Density: 100 
Zoom in to about 800% - 1000% 
Set your foreground to colour 1 on the outline colour chart (#FCB918) and start drawing your outline.
I started at the top of the star.

Step 2: Fills
When your outline is complete, select your magic wand with the following settings and click inside any one of the star sections. 
Flood fill this selection with colour 2 on your colour chart (#F5E0A9). 
Keep selected. 
Selections float, Effects 3D effects, Cutout with the following settings
Vertical: 0
Horizontal: 2
Opacity: 75
Blur: 3
Shadow colour: Use your STAR outline.(#FCB918)
Make sure fill interior with colour is UNchecked. 
Deselect. 

Repeat for all the other star sections. 

Merge all visible and save as a png.
