3) Randomly place the tissue paper squares on
the jar, overlapping them as you go.
4) Apply a layer of Modge Podge over the
tissue paper. Place the jar upside down to
dry and let dry completely before continuing.
5) Cut a 3 1/2" square from felt and cut a
small hole or X in the center of the felt
square. An easy way to do this is to fold
the square in half and make a small snip in the
center of the fold. Then, unfold and fold
the square in half the other way and take
another snip in the center of the fold.
6) Cut a 12" piece of yarn. Fold it in
half so that the ends are even and holding the
two loose ends together as if they were one, tie
an overhand knot.
7) Pass the looped end of the yarn through
the hole in the felt square but do not pull the
knot through the hole. Instead, glue the
knot to the opposite side of the felt from where
the loop is. The knot should be glued
close to the hole. Let this dry before
proceeding or use a hot glue gun to avoid the
need to wait.
8) Put glue around the threads of the jar and
on the top rim. Place the felt square on
top of the jar with the loop side facing up and
fold the edges of the felt square down into the
glue. If using white glue, wrap an elastic
around the felt until the glue dries.
Then, remove the elastic. If you use a hot
glue gun you won't need the elastic.
Hang your drum ornament on the tree by the
yarn loop and be sure to hang it next to a light
on the tree. Then, simply put one of the
tree lights into the hole in the felt to light
your ornament.
