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.

Open a new image 100 x 100 transparent. 

Select the brush tool with the following settings.

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

Horizontal: 2

Opacity: 75

Blur: 3

Make sure fill interior with colour is UNchecked. 

Deselect. 

Repeat for all the other star sections. 

Merge all visible and save as a png.
