How you’ll do it:

• Place ends of the cording together in a row.
• Using the embroidery floss and needle, stitch the ends together by running the needle and floss through all three ends.
• Pull it tight, and wrap the floss around the joined ends several times.
• Run the floss and needle through all three ends again.
• Tie off the end of the floss, cut and dab Fray Check on the part of the cords you’ve cut.
• Braid a seven-inch length, pulling tightly as you work. Cut the ends and secure as directed in see step one.
• Place ends together forming a circle, stitch with needle and floss, then wrap floss around tightly to secure the two ends and hide the stitching.
• Place and artificial leaf in the center of the floss, stitch to the ring using small stitches along the “vein.”
