Apply black paint over the entire horizontal strip. Leave to dry.

Step 4

Using the photo opposite, add two black circles to form the buttons of the coat.

Result and inspiration

Take a small eyebolt to screw and push it into the edge of the mini canvas. The wood is soft, no need to use a specific tool, the fingers are enough.

All you must do is slip a nice string through the hole in the piton.

And there you have it, a new idea super easy to achieve, which will have the most beautiful effect once hung on the tree!
