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

Hello Ivpiggy,

Your twilly flower is awesomely beautiful!!! I really wanna learn it but I'm stucked with step three n step four...=_=;
Can you please explain these two steps a little bit more in details?!
Do you need anything else (ie. the ring) to held the flower in shape or just the twilly would be enough?!

Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!
 
Sorry if you see this in the Evelyne thread, but I am so pleased with all of your inspiration! Here is my favorite twilly tie so far!

My new twillies + an Eiffel Tower key chain I got from my recent trip to Paris.

Sequences twillies, one of my favorite new designs!

I'm not that creative with my twilly use and only use them for bag handles...
