With a toothpick, poke a hole in the trunk. (Make sure that the hole is not too big, but big enough for the lace to fit through.) Loop the lace through the trunk and glue the end to the body of the ribbon. Once the clay is dry, glue on sequins and decorate with paint. A bead and tassel makes a nice finishing touch.
