1. Everyday when you brush your pet, remember to collect the fur and keep them aside in a bag.
2. Make sure that your pet's dropped fur doesn't roll up into tangled masses of fur. You can take your pet's dropped fur and drop them in a random pattern on the petri dish.
3. Paint the pebbles in bright, attractive colours.
4. Add sand, pebbles and dried flowers to the petri dish.
5. Cover the petridish with the formica discs or stone slabs.
6. Seal the rim well with strong adhesive. Follow manufacturer's instructions
7. Wait for 24 hours before using.
8. Congratulations! You have just made paper weights with a very special appeal for your pets. Your pets are sure going to approve of it and so would all your friends.
