Step-by-Step: The Layered Pastel Rainbow
Step 1: Roll the Strands
Mix five distinct custom colors. Roll each into a coil roughly 6 inches long and 1/3-inch thick.
Step 2: Arch and Connect
Form the smallest color band into an arch on parchment paper. Gently wrap each consecutive color along the outer edge of the previous curve, ensuring each strand touches without flattening.
Step 3: Trim the Base
Use a plastic hobby knife or clay ruler to slice clean, level bottoms across the rainbow ends.
Step 4: Dry Flat
Leave flat for 24 to 36 hours. Flip gently once the top feels dry to ensure balanced curing through the bottom.
