Important! If your daughter already has some kind of ring, you can circle it. If you are making an accessory in this way for the first time, try to make the sketch as simple as possible - with experience you can make more complex variations.

• Take the cooked magazine and break it into separate sheets.
• Attach a template for the future ringlet, circle it. Such details will need a fairly large number, so it is recommended to fill out several pages with such strokes, and only after that proceed to the next step.

• After complete drying, sand the product with fine sandpaper.
