Special Instructions:
Begin with the hat paying close attention to the string path.
Then on one strand add the ear and continue with the pattern.
Making and Adding Holly Leaf beads:
After completing the pattern, make 12 sets of holly leaves.
Using about a 6 inch piece of wire, string on one leaf, a red seed
bead and then another holly leaf. Center
the three beads on the wire. Twist the wire in the middle a few times to
secure. Randomly glue on the
completed holly leaves to the beadie, or you can twist them on.
Make a bow out of the two scraps of ribbon and glue into place.
