Instructions:

  1. Starting at one end of the ornament, coat a small area with glue. Begin wrapping yarn in tight rows until glued area is covered. Rows should be close enough together so that the base ornament does not show through.
  2. If you desire a pattern, alternate different colors of yarn.
  3. Repeat process until entire ornament is covered with yarn.
  4. Add trims in opposite direction to the yarn-wrapping.
  5. Insert ornament harp into top of ornament. Add colorful string or cord and it’s ready to hang!
