Finishing

Make Cardboard Fin Inserts

1. Place one fin piece flat on a piece of light cardboard and trace around it.
2. Break out the triangle, rounding the corners to prevent the shape from poking through. Repeat to make a total of three inserts.

Attach Fins

1. Hold one RS of the fin and one WSe of the fin together with RS facing out. Sew fins together, inserting one cardboard piece before seam is complete. Finish sewing pieces together then secure. Repeat for all three fins.

Optional Porthole Window

1. Place wreath on foil cardstock. Trace a circle that is smaller in diameter than the outside of the wreath but a little larger than the diameter of the inside circle.
2. Break out circle and glue to back of wreath to form the reflective porthole glass.
   Note: A picture of Santa or another creature could be substituted for the foil paper to give the appearance of someone looking out of the spaceship porthole.

Add Wreath Embellishments

• Glue red sequins approximately ¼” [6 mm] apart or as desired around the wreath.
• With a scrap of red yarn, tie a small bow and glue it to the bottom of the wreath over the seam line if desired.

Assemble Spaceship

1. Referring to the picture as a guide to placement, sew the following pieces together.
2. Pin the fins vertically with long cast-on edges against the lower portion of the spaceship body, making sure to space them evenly. Fins should be placed with the larger part of the triangle towards the bottom of the spaceship. Sew fins securely to the bottom portion of the spaceship.
3. Sew wreath to the spaceship.
4. With craft glue, glue rhinestones, sequins, or beads around the first C-colored stripe to represent running lights approximately ½” [1.5 cm] apart or as desired.

Optional: If desired, attach thread or fishing line to the spaceship for a hanging loop.
