Steps
- Step 1On the Dura-Lar, trace the outside of the brass ring with a permanent marker (three will fit on one sheet).
- Step 2With a craft knife or scissors, cut out the circles. Punch a hole in each for hanging purposes.
- Step 3Peel the protective coating from both sides of the Dura-Lar Film. With glue, attach brass rings to each of the circles of Dura-Lar Film. Allow glue to dry overnight.
- Step 4Use the black permanent marker to create a design on the film before coloring with the glass markers. Allow black marker to dry, then color with glass markers. Once the glass marker colors are dry, you can add other colors on top. Attach a piece of string or cord and hang.
