Tie the nylon thread around the ring of the Zircon connector. Tie several knots to make sure the thread doesn't unravel. Trim the excess thread to about 3mm from the knots.

Now thread 4 seed beads 11/0 (green), one flower bead, one seed bead 11/0 (violet) and one seed bead 15/0 (salmon).

Pass the thread through all the beads except the 15/0 seed bead (salmon). This will block the threading.

Pass the thread through the connector ring, then back through the first green bead.

Now thread 3 seed beads 11/0 (green), a flower bead, a seed bead 11/0 (violet) and a seed bead 15/0 (salmon).

Thread through all the beads except the small salmon bead as before.

You've now created your first flower duo.

Now go back through the ring of the crimped connector.

Repeat the previous steps to assemble the other flower stems. In all, you'll need to assemble 8 flowers to create a pretty cluster.

To finalize and secure the assembly, tie several knots on the connector ring, taking care not to trap the thread in the flower petals or pearls!

Between each knot, make sure you loop back through the ring of the crimped connector. This way, your cluster will form a pretty ball.

Finally, gently open the sleeper ring and insert the top ring of the crimped connector.

Repeat all steps for the second loop.

Your jewel is finished!

Beautiful creation!
