Step 5: Thread the needle (& thread) with the cotton ball attached and then tie a knot. Follow the pictures, the goal is for this string and cotton ball to hang from the canvas paper

Repeat the cotton ball maneuver as many times as you want the cotton balls to show in your terrarium. These are supposed to be clouds!

Step 7:
Now, do the same but with the stars. The stars are adhesive and will just stick to the ends of the string. So just thread the needle (&thread) through the canvas paper and then stick the stars on the ends. Follow the pictures!

Step 8:
Put your canvas paper on top of the jar and your dream sequence will appear like magic! Next, put a rubberband over like the picture shows.
