Tutorial: Ruby Slippers from “The Wizard of Oz”
Step 7: Sew decorations onto the bows
Recommended order for sewing the decorations:
#1 – Start with the center gem.
#2 – Sew the rhinestones around the center gem.
#3 – Sew the rhinestones around the outer edges of the bows.
#4 – Sew the remaining gems in the center.
#5 – Use the bugle and seed beads to fill the remaining space.
NOTE: You may need to play around with the bead arrangement to get a pattern that doesn’t look messy. It took me 4 attempts to find a pattern I liked!
