Instructions:
Step 1—Plan a design for the character you wish to make (Esther, Mordechai, King Achashverosh, Haman, Vashti, etc.)
Step 2—Color and cut out the pieces which make up the face. Arrange them into a design on a table before gluing onto the jug.
Step 3—Using glue sparingly, apply your design onto the jug and create a character.
