Step 2
Stick pictures on one side. I’m also really thankful for the great times of celebrations I had this year with my family and friends, so I made a special diamond that says ” celebrations”. You can also add some like these.
Step 3
On the other side of the diamond, write the name of the person and decorate as shown.
Step 4
Using a pencil in the center, roll some colored paper into 2 tight rolls as shown. Glue the ends and then, remove the pencil.
Step 5
Cross the two rolls at the center and tie them together as shown.
Step 6
Punch a hole on the top end of the diamond and tie a piece of thread. Attach the thread to the paper rolls as shown.
Step 7
Tie a piece of ribbon to the top of the paper rolls as shown right in the middle.

Now, hang up your mobile.
