            Making and Adding Holly Leaf beads:  After completing the pattern, make 12 sets of holly leaves.  Using about a 6 inch piece of wire, string on one leaf,
            a red seed bead and then another holly leaf.  Center the three beads on the wire. Twist the wire in the middle a few times to secure.  Randomly glue on the
            completed holly leaves to the beadie, or you can twist them on.  Make a bow out of the two scraps of ribbon and glue into place.
