6. Punch 80 small
circles out of the bottom color
7. Cut 10 pieces of string- each one 36 inches long
8. Lay out your first piece of string
9. Take two
pieces of smallest punched circles. Mod
Podge one side of one circle
10. Place the end of the string in the middle of the
circle with the Mod Podge on it. Place the dry circle on top so that the end of
the string is sandwiched in between the two. Press together
11. Measure 1 ½ “ up the string, and repeat with 2 more circles
12. Continue 2 more times with this same color, leaving 1
½” in between each circle. (There will be a total of 4 pairs of the bottom
color of the string)
13. Using the next color attach 3 more pairs of circles
14. With the top color attach 2 pairs of circles
15.You will repeat steps 8-14 for each string
16. To attach take one string with circles hanging below
and wrap the string around the painted hoop 1 ½ times (make sure the top
punched circle is 2-3 inches from the bottom of the hoop). The extra string
will come out the top edge of the hoop.
17. Go across the hoop and repeat with another string.
18. Continue until all 10 pieces are hung at staggered
lengths. Asjust as needed, collect all stings together centered over the hoop
and tie into one large knot through a 2 inch gold ring. Stand back and see if
you like the placement, adjust accordingly, cute off the extra strings and
hang! You did it!!
