Ensure each half of the hanging hole lines up perfectly and push the two halves of the bauble together until they ‘click’.
Take a piece of ribbon, string or twine (5-10” long depending on your desired drop length) and tie a knot in the end. Trim the ends (but not too close to the knot).
Pass your hanging thread through the hole of your bauble until it’s about half way through.
Holding the knotted end, push the looped end between the two strands of the knotted end.
Let go of the knotted end and then pull the looped end through the knotted end until taut.
The looped end should be at the top of your hanging thread and the knotted end should be down near the hanging hole of the bauble ready to be hidden by the red velvet bow.
Push the flexible twist tie of the red velvet bow through the hanging hole of the bauble.
Wrap the twist tie around the hanging hole of the bauble to secure the bow. Trim the twist tie if necessary.
Adjust your bow neatly around the bauble and your Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh Christmas tree ornament is complete.
Attach the tag to the hanging thread of your ornament in the same way you attached the hanging thread to the bauble. (You will need to pass the whole label through the loop to do this. Bend it gently if necessary.)
Notes
Hints and TipsIf for whatever reason you need to reopen your plastic bauble, use a butter knife to pry apart the bauble at the hanging hole.Attaching your hanging thread as instructed not only conceals the knot in the thread but also allows the ornament to hang straight-on when hung on a tree branch (this looks MUCH better).
