- Ink the edges of the letters to spell "holidays" or whatever sentiment you want to add. Adhere them as shown. Add pearls along the edge of the cream mat, the sides of the bracket tag, and the centers of the wood accents. Use tiny alphas, stickers, stamps, or your own handwriting to spell out "happy".

- Now the crystals. I will admit that normally I just open the jump rings on these hanging crystals and hang them from those but these particular crystals had really tough rings to open. So I used embroidery thread instead.
- Find the bottom center of your paper and use a paper piercer to punch two small holes. Punch another set of holes slightly to the left and another slightly to the right.
- Thread a needle, come up from the back and add a crystal, then go back down... repeat for the remaining two crystals. Trim the thread and tape each end to the back.

Re: **Altered Christmas Frame/Wreath Class!**
- Punch holes in the top of the inner piece.
- Thread coordinating ribbon through the holes and tie a small bow at the end (you'll only have one "tail")
- Do the same on the other side.
- Trim the other ends of the ribbons so that they reach behind the back of the frame and find where to fasten them so that your inner part will hang centered.
- I used ordinary tape to fasten my ribbons to the frame back for two reasons. One, I was just plain lazy and didn't want to figure out something else. ;-) Two, because in theory you could change out the center portion for a different holiday!
- Finally, add a wide coordinating bow at the bottom center.

And you're done!
