STEP by STEPS

Step 1: Create your beaded paper cone.
A. Use plain paper to make a cone that fits in the Filigree Cone End Cap at a length that works for you.
B. Trace your pattern onto the decorative paper and cut it out. Make sure the cone fits snuggly into the Filigree Cone End Cap.
C. Use the Bead-All to pierce two holes where the brads will go. Add a bit of glue to the edge of the cone.
D. Insert the brads and use the Chain Nose Pliers and the Bead-All to open the tongs of the brads.

Step 2: Assemble the Tussy Mussy.
A. Take your flowers and detach them from the bunches that they come in, also use alcohol inks to add age.
B. Add them to your cone in a pleasing arrangement; you want the cone to be full and well rounded. Once you have the look you want you can wire your bunch together.
C. Glue moss around the top of the cone and make a U out of the floral wire to set it into the bunch.
D. Glue your pin back to the back of your cone, so that the brads are in the front.

Your tussy mussy pin is complete, Enjoy!
