I used glue when I made the ornaments with beads on pins. But I agree with MaryBeth, don't take it apart now if you didn't glue. Just send it to me and I will guard it very carefully.
No MaryBeth I don't remember the chocolate box elf, now you will have to describe him for me okay cuz I am very curious. My parents have two elf ornaments that are made by stringing circles of felt, I love them.
