[Nfb-krafters-korner] fun with foam

[Ann Bliss]

You could also run some  Strands of wide ribbon around and pin in place or 
use cording and run down the middle of the ribbon and pin in place.

      You can make a hanging loop with the                   cording or 
ribbon.  If you have a long pin, place several beads on it and hang at the 
bottom.
