    Skill level: beginnerNOTES:
    GENERAL FRINGE INSTRUCTIONS

    The nylon net is used as a foundation for the fringe. Cut a piece of netting to desired length. Fold in half lengthwise matching bottom row of squares at fold.

    Cut yarn for fringe into lengths indicated. Use crochet hook to pull yarn through net to create each fringe. Working from left to right, leaving about 3 empty spaces, insert crochet hook from behind next space in the net. Fold a length of yarn cut for fringe in half. Use hook to pull folded end of yarn through the net to form a loop. Pull ends of yarn through this loop; pull firmly so that loop sits against edge of net. Repeat until net is completely fringed. Trim fringe ends evenly. Cut off excess net above fringe so about 3/8” [1 cm] of net remains above fringe.

    Glue completed lengths of fringe to the denim garments as instructed.

    DENIM SKIRT

    Fringe

    Measure circumference of skirt at hem, add 2” [5 cm]. Cut a piece of net to this length. Cut a 3” [7.5 cm] square of cardboard. Wrap A around cardboard. Slip scissors under yarn and cut open loops at one end of cardboard. Follow general instructions to apply fringe to net. Apply glue to one section of wrong side of skirt hem and lay net into glue. Allow glue to dry along each section of hem before you move on to remainder of hem. Trim away any excess length of fringe.

    Outer Petals

    Wrap B around 3” [7.5 cm] wide piece of cardboard 20 times. Carefully slip yarn off cardboard. Cut another piece of yarn and tie it securely around center of wrapped yarn. Cut loops open and trim evenly.

    Inner Petals

    Cut a 2” [5 cm] strip of cardboard. Wrap A around cardboard 20 times. Carefully slip yarn off cardboard. Cut another piece of yarn and tie it securely around center of wrapped yarn. Cut loops open and trim evenly.

    With C and crochet hook, chain 15. Fasten off.

    Assembly

    Arrange and glue Outer Petals in place on front of skirt. Glue Inner Petals to center of Outer Petals. Apply glue to center of flower and coil C chain to form center, adding glue as needed. Glue 8 crystal beads around each Flower Center.
