Tips for parents:

If you and your child have been invited to a wedding together, your child will probably enjoy helping you make the bride-and-groom gift. Some tasks should be carried out by the parents, such as drilling or using the hot glue gun.

Crafting instructions:

1. First, drill two small holes—one on the left and one on the right—into the wooden disc, and then fix the rods into them.
