<br clear=all>
* laser-cut red felt "bow" shape
* craft sticks to aid in gluing
* kid-safe, washable glue(may not be included in mailed kits; Tacky Glue or ordinary white school glue is recommended)
Basic instructions for the default look, a fairly symmetrical holly wreath:
* Set up a work space for gluing; with old cardboard, newspapers, wax paper, or something to avoid getting glue on the furniture
* Carefully separate out the various parts from the bag
* Glue the 3 rings on top of each otherto produce a 3-layer laminated ring, lining up the slot to match, and being generous with the glue. ** If using white glue, put a thin bead around just inside the inside and and outside edge of the ring, and then a zigzag of glue between them** (Note: optionally, spray-type craft adhesive (not supplied) may be used to laminate the rings; follow instructions on can, with adult supervision and a well-ventilated working area required)
* (Consider the top with the slot to be "North" for purposes of the following directions)
* Take 4 leaves, and glue them on top of the ring, at N, S, E, W points, with the longer axis of the leaves pointing radially, and roughly centered on the ring. Make sure the N leaf is not glued in such a way as to cover the hanging slot.
