SWEET ACCENT: Use Mini Glue Dots and Gold Metallic Twisted Thread to form the flower accent shown above and below.
After wrapping panel with metallic thread, place a glue dot where you want the center of the flower. With a new piece of thread, start at the center and loop into petals, securing on the mini glue dot as you go. If need be, add more glue dots until the flower is fully formed. Add a sequin on top… done!
