16 inches of 16 gauge craft wire

Use marker to add label over the drawing.
Insert one end of wire through hole in lid. Bend wire to create loop and secure lid to wire. Gently bend wire, making a U near the end of the lid, leaving a long straight end that gets poked into soil.
Thread raffia through loop at top of lid and tie ends to create a bow. Use scissors to trim to desired length.
