A syringe and piping bag for the tiny dots. The back of a paint brush for bigger dots. To remove any air bubbles a trussing needle or toothpick. Use a compass and chalk to draw perfect circles as your starting guide. Always wait for your dots to completely dry before doing the next row. This project can easily take several weeks to complete. When mixing your colors that you will use again, write out the color combinations so you can recreate for other rings.
