Cut eight strips of the teal grosgrain ribbon 4”
long and six 4” strips from the sparkle ribbon.

Begin gluing each strip of
grosgrain ribbon right under the scarf working your way around the clothespin.
5.
After you have added all the grosgrain ribbon
strips, add the sparkle strips starting at the side of the clothespin, around
the back and end on the opposite side.
6.
Glue the dowel cap onto the top of the
clothespin for the head.
7.
Gather a few lengths of yarn and glue to the top
of the head and slightly down one side.
Braid the yarn and tie with Bowdabra silver bow wire.
8.
Add the snowflake to the center and adjust the
arms. Fan out the dress and stand up to
display.
