1) Hot glue the Styrofoam ball inside the muffin paper being sure to glue both the bottom and the sides of the paper to the Styrofoam ball. 2) Using the popsicle stick or plastic knife, spread a layer of 'Snow Accents' or 'True Snow' on the portion of the Styrofoam ball that is above the muffin paper. Be careful not to get any of the snow/frosting on the muffin paper. 3) While the snow is still wet, insert a screw eye hook into the top of the cupcake. Optional: While the "frosting" is still wet, sprinkle some ultrafine glitter on it or place some small beads into the "frosting". Use a toothpick or your fingernail to push the beads into the snow/frosting part of the way. 4) Let the snow/frosting dry completely before continuing. 5) Apply 1 -2 coats of interior varnish (the type that is sold with the acrylic paints in your local craft store) to the muffin paper letting dry completely between coats. 6) Attach a piece of string or an ornament hook to the eye hook and your cupcake is ready to be hung on the tree.
