How to create a miracle?
No magic wand required. All you need is a needlework kit. You will need ribbons of all calibers and varieties, braid and cords. There should be a lot of thread (including floss and iris). Shiny pebbles, glass beads, and sequins are vital. Sew-on snowflakes, stars, sparkles and other decorations are definitely included in the list. Always keep needles, a stapler, and multifunctional glue at hand.
