Ribbon hangers: Using the two 12" pieces of ribbon, glue one end of each inside the back piece at the top as shown for each (fig A)
- Wind or tie a small wire (or thread) hanger on the bells (fig D), and glue down to the inside of the back pieces as shown (fig A).
- Lay the front of the bells on to the backs making sure the short glued ribbon ends are hidden on the inside and glue very close to the edge, all the way around~ leaving the small opening at the side for stuffing. Stuff lightly, close off the opening.
