Take a small piece of clay and flatten it out on the surface.Then take your bead and press it on the clay.Take it with a needle.

press the ring in the clay(place it slightly to the left).
Then press the ring again and create a moon shape.
Clean off the edges with the neddle.
And add a little hole with the needle.

Painting

Okay this step can be a little tricky so it may take a few tries.Use a flat brush and paint really lightly so that you only paint the surface.If there is paint all over the moon you can just leave it like that it still looks good or you can clean it with a toothpick.

Hanging

Using the needle put the thread through the little hole in the moon and tie it.Repeat for the picture too.Okay so getting the moon look straight was kind of demanding but you can do it!
Just pull the thread all the way up and slowly pull the moon while making sure it is straight.When you are happy with the length tape it on the back.

Done!
