Both have a wire attached that would allow the items to be used as tree ornaments. Style #22317, Christmas Friends, is a kit to make four projects. They are a reindeer, a Santa, a dog and a bear. Each is coming out of the top of a Christmas stocking. Each also has a loop for hanging as a tree ornament.
