4. Place the two lengths of cord together and knot both ends together. Center the cord BEHIND one of the wings, with one knot at the top and one at the bottom.

5. Apply a short line of hot glue at the top and bottom of the wings (kind of where they make a “v” shape) and fold the knot over the top/bottom of the felt to secure it in the glue. You may also use tacky glue here but I like hot glue because I know it’s not going to come loose.

6. Apply tacky glue to the entire top of the wing and place the other over the top, sandwiching the knots in the center. Apply pressure to ensure the glue holds and allow the glue to dry completely.
