Top Tip
If you can't find any acetate simply glue the crystals onto plain white paper; the light will still show through.
How to Make
- Cut a piece of acetate sheet (as found in toy packaging) to about A5 size.
- Stick the sheet over the cross and circle template provided and trace the outline with a fine permanent marker.
- Using a small brush, brush PVA glue around part of the outline of the cross. Sprinkle red stone crystals over the wet glue and shake off the excess.
- Continue gluing around the outline, gradually sprinkling in the crystals while the glue is still wet.
- Cover the outline of the circle with green stone crystals as before. Leave the outlines to dry and then fill the centre of the cross with a mixture of yellow and orange stone crystals, secured with more PVA glue.
- Fill the entire background of the pattern with blue stone crystals and leave to dry for an hour.
- Cut around the circle with scissors, leaving a tab at the top.
- Make a hole in the flap and thread a satin ribbon through it for hanging.
