Use a box cutter to cut slits in the tube for the wings/tail. I just eyeballed it for the wings to be opposite each other etc...its an ornament and doesn't have to be exact. That's what I keep telling myself because I'm a measurement snob and know deep down I should have been more precise.

Push in the wing sections so that there is a little bit protruding on the inside. I will be applying epoxy glue on the inside as well to give the wings more strength.
I wanted to keep the cargo hold open on the inside, so the wings don't stick all the way into the middle - Santa likes to fill up the cargo hold with little M&M's so we don't want to obstruct.
