Working one small section at a time, apply a small bead of gem tac to edges of sticker on shaker. Use beading tweezers to glue on beads, alternating between bugle beads and e beads. Place e beads on sides so holes do not show. Glue crystals to top and bottom of oval. Lay on side while glue sets. Hand wash only under lukewarm water.

STEP 2: Decorate napkin ring. Seal wood ring with sealer. Sand and paint all wood pieces Antique White. Apply decoupage medium with foam brush to wrong side of a 3" square of patterned paper. Lay large circle on wrong side of square to dry. When dry, cut edges even with wood with scissors. Use sanding block to smooth. Stamp monogram in center of smaller circle with solvent ink. Center and glue smaller circle to large circle with tacky glue. Repeat step #2 to glue beads around circle edges. Glue 2mm crystal to center of monogram. Glue circle to napkin ring with tacky glue.
