Or, print the Snowball Wreath Ornament pattern and use one of the two shapes for sizing the background.
Cut the doughnut shape from the poster board (or chip board).
Add a generous amount of glue around the doughnut shaped background.
Fold the ribbon and position the ribbon ends on the glue.
Add more glue over the ribbon ends.
Position the cotton balls on the glue around the background.
