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.
