4. Press the end of the twine down and use some Bostik Clear to keep it in place.
5. Punch four red, three yellow, and three orange maple leaves from the cardstock.
6. Use the Bostik Clear to glue the leaves all around the jar.

 
7. Tie the ribbon and cord around the neck of the glass jar and make a bow. Neatly cut the ribbon/cord ends and add a drop of glue to the knot of the bow, so that the bow won't come loose.
