    Great job! Now lets reinforce the back a little bit....

25. 25

    Take a 2 inch x 2 inch piece of heavy cardstock and put a couple pieces of double sided tape on it.

26. 26

    I stuck a slightly smaller piece on top of it (so you could easily see) and reinforces the project.

    Add double sided tape to the other side of the bright pink piece of card stock, and stick it directly onto the back. Nice and strong! :)

    Using a glue dot to the back of the module and to the side of the module (to stick these guys together to themselves AS WELL AS to the larger ring) complete the small ring...

31. 31

    Keep going....

32. 32

    There we go! Inner ring finished...Now for the centre....
