how to make a constellation jar
TRANSCRIPT
Steps
1. Find an appropriate jar. The jar should have a wide opening.
2. Find an aluminum sheet. You should be able to get one at a metal cutter or a hardware store.
3. Roll the aluminum sheet around the jar. Mark the aluminum sheet for later trimming – it should completely
cover the jar.
5. Obtain a constellation map or pattern. You could search online and have it printed.
6. Tape it on the surface of the aluminum sheet.
7. Start making holes. Use the pattern as a guide in making your stars.
Use different sizes of needle or drill bit.
9. Insert the aluminum sheet into the jar.
10. Obtain your lighting. You can use a tea light or any LED device that you can fit into the jar. Do not use real
candles. The aluminium will melt and you will end up getting a melted star display.
11. Light it up at night and watch the stars in your room!
