hi ladies! sorry for the slow response, finally had time today to take some photos & put together instructions for piggy's twilly flower (^(oo)^)v
twilly used here is the "bolduc hidden" that comes with the clou de selle twilly ring set
ONE
thread one end of the twilly through the circular end of the post, where the lock is supposed to go
TWO
pull halfway through, to where the care tag is located, and loosely tie a single knot
THREE
take one of the loose ends, give it a twist (like one turn of a corkscrew), bring it over the top of the knot before tucking it through the knot's center. pull until you have created a small, twisted loop
FOUR
repeat on the other loose end. continue to repeat, alternating ends
FIVE
when you have only enough length left for one new loop on each end, new loops, tuck the "tails" underneath the knot in opposing directions through the circular end of the post to secure, then fluff / arrange your flower's petals and you're done! \(^(oo)^)/
PS - this also works well on bracelets (except the classic enamel bangle, the flower most obstinately insists on circumnavigating almost continuously!), chokers, as a brooch, etc.
PPS - don't let the watermarking alarm you! piggy = the luxe junkie, so there's no image thievery going on here! (^(oo)^)v
Super clever!!
glad everyone enjoyed the twilly flower tutorial! (^(oo)^)v
here's another variation on the theme: piggy's twilly fleurette headband, made here with the l'air de ginza twilly!
just tie the twilly 'round your head with a single knot, then make small twisted loops like you would for the normal flower. the ends can either be left loose as "leaves" or tucked under the band and secured with bobby pins (^(oo)^)`

cloneesha, you have a talented hubby!!
lolakitten, your DD is so adorable and the Twilly belt is so cute on her!
Cari284, how pretty! Great photography too
lvpiggy, fantastic creativity and fabulous step-by-step, many thanks
The headband idea is so cute, and looks so chic on you 
citgirl, I would have thought that the oil stains the Twilly, unless the hair has fully absorbed it. Oil makes handwashing tricky, but if you don't mind sending your Twilly to the drycleaner, go for it and have fun.
