Step 3: Remove the cap from the top of the ornament and carefully slide in all of the key charms into the hole of the glass ball ornament so that you can read the addresses as much as possible. You may have to slightly bend the tags to fit them through the hole.

Step 5: Glue the decorative key to the ribbon.

Note: If your decorative key is too heavy, you may need to stitch a couple of loops, with a needle and thread, around the key and ribbon to secure it.
