Glue the pieces to the round shapes as you see them in the picture. 4. Punch a hole in the top of the large circle and fix an eyelet in the hole. 5. Punch a hole in both the top and bottom of the small circle and also fix an eyelet in each hole. 6. Connect the smaller circle to the larger using nylon thread.
