Materials needed: One large butterfly paperclip One gold pony bead 12" piece of thin ribbon

1. Take the paperclip and place it so that the "wings" are pointing up. 2. Thread the ribbon through the middle and bring both ends up evenly to the top. 3. Thread the pony bead through the ribbon ends and pull it down to the top of the clip as shown.  The pony bead will rest between the wings. 4. Tie the loose ends of the ribbon in a slip knot.  This is such an easy ornament to make!  Besides using them for tree decorations, you may also use them for gift tags.  If using for a gift tag, glue the pony bead to the ribbon to keep it from slipping off the ribbon.
