Project Steps

1. After preparing the glass, choose a design element for each star. Where applicable, follow the Rub N Etch instructions to place those stencils onto the glass. Stick the desired Over N Over stencils into their desired positions. Follow the etching cream instructions to etch all designs onto the stars.
2. Hook a jump ring through the hole in every star. Cut 5 equal lengths of fishing line and one much longer.Tie a piece of fishing line to each jump ring and string them with beads as shown.
3. Tie the 5 equal pieces to the hoop at equal distances from each other. Make the tie point halfway up the line so there is extra. Glue a star bead over the fishing line knots on the hoop. Add more as desired.
4. Hold all 5 top pieces of fishing line together and tie them to the remaining empty jump ring. Adjust as necessary to keep the hoop level. Pass the last line with the 6th star on it through the middle of the hoop and tie it directly to the jump ring. Adjust the length before finishing the knot.
