Materials

  • 1 piece Clear plastic circle
  • 1 sheet Black vinyl
  • 1 bottle Pink glass paint
  • 1 bottle Blue glass paint
  • 1 bottle Rainbow glass paint
  • 5 pieces Gems Choose colorful gems for added sparkle.

Instructions

Crafting Steps

  • Create panda and crystal sections using the clear plastic circle. Start by planning your design, focusing on how the shapes can enhance color placement.
  • Fill in the designated areas with your chosen translucent colors. For example, the panda's body can be white with black highlights, while the crystals can feature bright blues and reds.
  • Add gems for extra sparkle and dimension. Consider placing them near the borders where sunlight hits the most to amplify their shine.
  • Allow the paint to dry completely. Look for a matte finish before proceeding, ensuring the colors adhere properly.
  • Attach the thread for hanging. Use a small hole punch to make a hole at the top, then secure your thread. The finished piece should be easy to display in various spots.
