How to Make

  1. Take a pink paper doily and cut it in half. Then cut out the inner circle to leave just the patterned outer ring.
  2. Cover the white side of the semi-circle ring in a layer of PVA glue, and then stick it to the glass jar. Then add another layer of PVA glue over the top of the pink side.
  3. Repeat steps 1&2 with a blue and a yellow paper doily. Making sure you spread them out so that light can shine through the holes. Leave to dry.
