Put hot glue into the opening of the hand and insert the wire, bring lace down around the hand and glue in place.
Gather the top of the flat lace, glue inside the opening of the base of the head and push the gathered lace into the glue.
Gather the white material at the top and glue to the inside of the base inside under the flat lace.
With remaining ruffled lace, glue around the shoulders and bodice of the head to cover raw edge of head base.
Use the narrow ruffled trim around the neck.
With the narrow cord, glue each end to each side of the head (this is the hanger).
With the gold pointed trim, form a circle for the crown and glue in place on the top of the head, covering the ends of the hanger cord.
Tie the narrow ribbon on the sleeves, leaving long tails.
Glue the wings to the back.
Glue the sting of beads from one hand draping to the other hand.
