At a craft store, they sell plain glass ornament bulbs. The metal caps just slip on and slip off. The clouser minnow slides right in. I attach it to the ornament's cap with a piece of monofilament, then slip the cap on. The friends I've sent them too seem to really like them. I did these last year. I used clousers because it was easy to make them in red white and blue.
