"Now that we have our halves, the rings all made, we are going to complete our Kusudama. Taking your piece of string, maybe a thicker piece of string, and a size eight seed bead. String it through, it probably won't go through this needle, so I'm going to string it through this end. And tie a little knot, so that our seed bead will be at the very bottom. Tie two knots. OK. Now we are going to take our individual piece that is loose, and string, piercing through the open flower end, and out the base. Piercing with your needle, string in this manner. And, pull that seed bead. We're going to cut this end, just a little bit. Pull that seed bead all the way up to the end, and take your dab of glue and kind of open that Kusudama, that individual piece up, and hide that string right in between. And, this also secures the bead in place. So, you have the very bottom of your Kusudama. Take six, the ring of six, and go right through the center of that ring, right in between all the string. Let it come down. Take your ring of eleven, go right through."
