Lay a bead of glue around the neck of the ornament and begin winding the natural color jute from the top of the ornament down toward the bottom adding glue as you go.  Keep the jute pushed tight up against the row above it.  Continue until the entire ornament is covered with natural colored jute.  Starting at the top of the ornament again using the chocolate jute lay a bead of glue and wind down a about 1/1/2 inches from the top gluing as you go to create an acorn cap.  Take the wire loop out of the ornament cap and slide it inside the ornament keeping the loop outside the top.  glue artificial leaves at the top of the acorn.

Remove the ornament cap and fill the ornament with green paper krimps then put the cap back on.  Glue the seed bead to the small wooden ball with the 3in1 glue and set aside to dry. Cut the black tulle into 4 5" lengths, stack them on top of each other and tie a knot in the center.  shred the tulle using scissors, glue the knot of tulle at the top of the ornament  about around the upper edgae of the ornament.  scrunch the tulle to create a fabulous frizzy look.  Glue the sinamay that to the top.  paint the mini wood ball with the green paint and let dry, glue the wiggly eyes to the ornament and glue the green ball nose to the witch face.

Remove the cap of the cube ornament.  Pour green paint inside the ornament and swirl to cover the entire inside of the ornament.  Turn the ornament upside down to allow the excess paint to drain out. (this works really well in an egg carton). Paint 2 of the screw covers and the ornament cap black and let dry.  After the ornament has drained of excess paint (its best to let it dry for a while). Put the cap that has been painted black back on top.  Rub on the vinyl face and then glue the screw covers to the sides of the ornament as neck bolts.
