What you will need:

1 2

3 4

First, apply the sound wave cut out of Brother Branham saying “You can’t visit every nation. You can send tapes to it.” to the bottom of your jar.

The second step is to add the name tag. You could print your name and mod podge it to the label, or even use paint or sharpies to write it.

The Agapao tablet is the third piece to glue in place.

“Finish the Job” and “Press Play” go together for step four.

10

Use your paintbrush to apply an even coat of mod podge to the back of each cut out when you are placing it.

5 6

7 8

Scatter the “press plays” around the jar.

Place the four “passport stamps.”

Mod Podge the world sticker to the lid of your jar.

You finished the jar!
