6. Punch a circle out of kraft paper and make a hole in it.

7. Thread a piece of jute cord through the hole.

8. Add the lettering and decorative elements with a marker and stick on a rose blossom.

9. Tie the finished pendant behind the bow.

Rainbow Bath Salts

1. Mix bath salts with scented oil according to personal taste.

2. Divide the bath salts into 5 small bowls and colour them with soap colouring.
