> Glue a small amount of the moss in the center of a wreath

> 1.Glue the two craft sticks together in an "X" and let dry.
> 2.Glue the end of the first color of the yarn to the back and
>center
> of the ornament to hold the yarn in place. Weave the yarn over
> and under each stick in a basket weave pattern. Change the
> colors often, but it looks best to use each color for at least
>three
> to four rows around the ornament. Glue down each beginning
> and ending piece of yarn to the back of a craft stick to hold
>it in
> place. Weave the yarn to within a 1/4 to 1/2 inch of the end
>of
> the sticks and glue down the end of the last color of the yarn
>to
> the back of the ornament to hold it in place.
> 3.Glue a loop of yarn to the back of one of the craft sticks for
> hanging the ornament on the tree.
> Note: Variegated Christmas yarn can also be used.

> Plastic Ball Ornament with Center Opening
> Large Open Stencil Stickers
> Assorted Acrylic Paints
> Gold Or Silver Paint Pens (If Desired)
>
> 1.Place the stencil stickers where desired in one half or both
>sides
> of the ball ornament. Star stickers are particularly nice. Put
>a
> few drops of a paint in one side of the ball. Mixing two or
>more
> colors can produce an interesting kaleidoscope effect. Close
>the
> ball and shake it until the desired paint effect is reached.
>Layers
> can be obtained by using one color at a time and letting it
>dry
> before adding the next color. Reopen the ball and put the
> halves aside to dry thoroughly.
> 2.After the paint has dried completely, carefully remove the
> stickers and put the ball ornament back together.
> 3.Use a paint pen to decorate the outside of the ornament, if
> desired. A glitter glue gun stick can also be used to decorate
>the
> outside of the ornament.
