All they did was drill a hole in the top, glue a twig in the hole, with the bark on the twig, and then wired some wooden leaves around the "stem" and then painted a face on. Oh, and they took a planer and kind of rounded some of the top of the post all the way around. I love it because you don't have to be perfect about any of it! My niece bought it with the wreaths at the same auction, all for the same price! Gotta love auctions!
