Step 3:Place the 2 crocheted pieces togehter wrong sides facing each other and weave the ¼" wide ribbon through round 7, through both layers but before going all the way around, stuff the stuffed netting circles into the crochet circles, then continue weaving to close. Tie ends together into a bow.
