2. Add craft snow to a clear craft ornament. Drop in the candy cane, bell and ribbon pieces. Put top back on ornament.

3. Cut 24”³ of Bowdabra Bow Wire and fold it and place it into the Mini Bowdabra. Add the two 5″ pieces of ribbon into the Mini Bowdabra and spread out.

4. With the 14″ Christmas ribbon, add a 3″ pieces for the tail. Then make 2 inch loops on both sides twisting in the middle to keep the pattern on top.

5. End with a 3″ piece for the tail on the opposite side.
