"In this clip, I'm going to teach you how to make a bagel Christmas ornament. For the sake of the demonstration, we have already dipped the bagel in varnish, and it is dried. We're going to take any type of ribbon, holiday ribbon, red, green, whatever you prefer. We're going to thread the ribbon through the hole, like so, and tie the ribbon in a bow, up at the top, like so. Then, we are going to take a piece of holly and thread it through the hole, and secure it with hot glue, and you have to be very careful, because the hot glue dries very fast. You need to hold it down for a few seconds, so it stays, and there you go. Beautiful."
