Cut a piece of sewing thread about 18" long. Push heart button through center of flower. Secure to flower with sewing thread. Do not cut thread.

Put on 12 bugle beads and one 4mm pearl. Pass the thread back through all the beads and draw thread up tight and secure to back of flower right up close to the shank of the button on the left side of the shank.

Work the rest of the strands of beads the same way but when you get to the third one, put on 13 bugle beads and the 5mm bead. Do the same thing with each strand of beads.

When you are done with the beading, weave the ends of the threads into work and secure with a knot. You may have to rethread your needle a couple more times to complete the beading.

Sew pinback to the back of the flower above the shank of the button.
