Preparation

Mixing Colors
- In a bowl, mix clear glue or resin with blue food coloring until desired shade is achieved.
- Test the color by applying a small amount on cardboard and letting it dry.
Pouring and Setting
- Pour the blue mixture into the cut-out shapes slowly.
- Use a paintbrush to spread the mixture evenly if needed.
- Add small glass pieces or sequins on top of the wet mixture for added effects.

- Thread the string through the hole and tie a knot for hanging.
