Happy New Year 2012


Get The Look
All you need are three things:
1.  Silver Chenille Stems
2.  Silver Star Decorative Garland
3. Cute Dog (hahahaha)


Take one Chenille Stem and wrap around dog's head.  Twist together to create the perfect fit.  If you have a larger dog, twist two stems together as one and then wrap around head.


Should look like this when you are done:


IMPORTANT: 
When working with chenille stems, it's important to make sure all the ends twist outward (Away from where the dog's head will go).  Wire ends are sharp and will not feel good if poking your pup's head.


Create your numbers by folding stems into number shapes.  Cut off extras.


Use your cut off pieces as ties to connect numbers to the head piece.  Twist the connecting strips around head piece and numbers a few times as tight as you can.


Add stars by twisting star garland around top of head piece.


Celebrate the New Year!!!
