This one is all yours

Nothing sharp, nothing hot, nowhere far. Tell someone what you're up to, then go ahead and do it on your own.

How to make it

7 steps. Tap one when it's done.

Why that works

Red and white stripes are the standard for lighthouses because they stand out against every background: sky, water, snow and fog. Yours will too.

Lambton County twist

The small white lighthouse at Grand Bend marks the harbour entrance beside Lake Huron.
