Hot glue gold fringe all the way around the curved side of each half oval. To do this measure the gold fringe around the curved side of the half oval and cut it. Then put a line of glue all the way around the curved side and press the gold fringe into the glue. Allow to dry for 15 minutes.

Glue the two pieces of card stock to the shirt with the straight edge against the collar and rounded edge over the shoulder. You should use hot glue and glue only along the straight edge.
