Draw a yingyang shape using a round object.Cut one side and paint it black then glue it to the glass like the one on the picture.

Branches

In this step I decided to use a sticker paper but it's optional you can use normal paper and then glue it to the glass.You can use a reference picture for this step.

you can paint it then glue it to the glass too.I prefered to this like that cause it was easier for me.Basically you are going to glue the branches after cutting them and then you are going to paint them.Then wait until the paint is dry and clean it with a toothpick.

Measure
