Easy
- Fit the bead and ring neck onto the hook, run on the thread and make thread wraps to fix the bead and ring in place.
- Fold some fibres stripped from a piece of organza ribbon around the thread and tie back down to the bend.
- Tie in a piece of copper braid and wind forward in overlapping turns.
- Tie in the braid against the ring and cut off the waste.
- Wind the thread up and down over the copper braid to smooth the abdomen.
- Whip finish behind the ring.
- Apply a thin coat of UV-varnish and cure.
