      Bend a section of wire in a circle
 
        
      Twist the ends to secure.
 
        
      Split a long leaf to remove the hard vain
 
        
      Spread floral glue on both leaf halves
 
        
      Roll the leaf around the wire
 
        
      Overlap the ends and secure with glue
 
        
      Glue the other half of the leaf to the inside of the ring
 
        
      Follow the circle and cover the wire. Press the two leaf-halves to glue to the wire but leave the sides slightly gaping so that the silver wire peaks out at the sides.
See the Tutorial below for instructions on how to completely cover a wire.

      Cut the dangling bit short
 
        
      Add a few more knots and finish the design
