    step two - Cut four lengths of florist wire then create a tiny loop at one end of the wire with your pliers. Feed on the beads- one bugle, three seed, one bugle, 3 seed and so on until you have 5 bugles and 12 seed beads for each bead loop. Then feed the tail of the wire through the little loop. Repeat this so you have 4 loops.

    step three - Glue the 4 stems of the bead loops, into a cross shape. Cut stems of flowers leaving 5mm of wire on flower head. Push the 5 mm of wire to one side as tucking it under the petals (to secure flower head). Glue 4 of the paper flowers in a square shape, with their heads slightly on one side and the flowers sit in between each bead loop. Leave a small gap in the centre for the 5th paper flower to sit snug. Glue the 5th flower so it sits slightly raised compared to the other flowers. Paint little dots along the top edge of the lid with the 3d pearl pink fabric paint. Allow to dry
