ERRATA CORRIGE: in the pdf-version I posted here before the 13th of June 2011 I wrote I used thread nr. 10. It must be thread nr. 20!

Extra NOTE: to give a better shape to your necklace (and also for washing it afterwards) wet it all pieces and wring it.
Then spread it on a clean surface somewhere in your house, give each flower the good form and cover it all with a piece of cotton, so the necklace can dry up and take its form. This note is valid for all my flowered necklaces.
