  4.     Be careful not to have the hand pressing against anything or it will ruin the shape. 

  5.     When the Jelly is frozen cut the glove off using small scissors. 

  6.    Keep your masterpiece in the fridge until ready to display. 

        -Or place the hand inside the wacky witches brew.
