Equipment
- tape measure
- Scissors
- hot glue gun
Materials
- snowflake-shaped cookie cutter
- jute twine
- macrame cord

Instructions
- Wrap the tips with jute: Secure one end of the jute to the back of the cookie cutter with a small dot of hot glue, then wrap each tip snugly and glue the end in place for a clean finish.
- Wrap the remaining sections with macramé cord: Start at the edge of a jute-wrapped tip, glue down the starting end, then wrap each section tightly until fully covered and secure the end with glue.
- Clean up and add a hanger: Remove any glue strings by gently pulling them away with your fingers, then thread a cut piece of jute through the ornament’s center, tie the ends together, and form a loop for hanging.

Notes
- Work in small sections: Wrapping shorter sections at a time keeps the cord tight and prevents shifting as you go.
- Use minimal glue: Small dots of glue keep the ornament neat while still anchoring each wrap securely.
- Check coverage as you wrap: Adjust the cord slightly as needed so no metal peeks through.
- Let everything cool completely: Allow the glue to harden fully before handling to ensure the wraps stay tight and secure.
