Instructions:
1. First cut out the motif. Then remove all but the top layered napkin.
2. Apply a thin layer of glue to the wood and let it dry a minute. Then place the napkin motif on top of the wood and brush a layer of glue over the entire napkin motif. Start at the middle of the motif and work your way outwards until the entire motif is covered. Let it completely dry before continuing.
3. Once the glue is dry, saw out the motif. Paint the sides with orange and black paint, according to what is on the napkin at that area.
4. Drill a hole through both sides of the motif. Assemble the leaves, beads and raffia on the wire and spiral curl the wire some to hold the elements in place. Then insert the wire ends into the wood and spiral curl the ends to keep them in place.
