How to Make

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