Instructions

1. Prepare the Base

   Cut a circular base (~3.5 cm diameter) from a canvas sheet or MDF board. If you don't have these, use thick cardboard. Adjust size as desired.

   Time: PT10M

2. Arrange Jasmine Buds

   Apply a thin layer of B7000 glue to one side of the base. Arrange jasmine buds side by side in a circle, leaving small gaps if desired. Press gently to adhere.

   Time: PT20M

3. Let First Layer Dry

   Allow the glued jasmine buds to dry for at least 4-5 hours (preferably overnight) for a strong bond.

   Time: PT5H

4. Add Decorative Pendant (Optional)

   If using a pendant, attach it to the center of the base using B7000 glue or thin metallic wire. For wire, thread through the base and twist tightly at the back.

   Time: PT10M

5. Attach Kundan Stones

   Apply glue in a circular pattern around the center (or pendant). Place kundan stones side by side, forming a neat ring. Press gently to secure.

   Time: PT20M

6. Add Pearl Chain and Stone Shine

   Apply glue to the outer edge. Attach pearl chain or beads, and add stone shine or decorative stones as desired. Press gently.

   Time: PT15M

7. Final Adjustments

   Check for gaps or unevenness. Add more buds, stones, or pearls to fill spaces. Adjust before glue fully dries.

   Time: PT10M

8. Let Second Layer Dry

   Allow the entire accessory to dry for at least 2-3 hours (preferably overnight) for all layers to set.

   Time: PT3H

9. Attach Hair Pin

   Apply glue to the back of the base. Attach the U pin (hair pin) firmly. Cover the back with a circular piece of canvas sheet for a neat finish. Let dry.

   Time: PT15M

10. Final Drying and Clean Up

    Allow the finished accessory to dry completely (at least 1 hour). Remove any tissue paper or glue residue. Clean up workspace and wash utensils.
