Designer Tips:
- Since the base of the flower is narrower than the top, push resin rose into hole in filigree until it stops.
- Hold it in place and apply E-6000 all around the "sides" of the rose and the edge of the opening (on the back side.) A tooth pick works well for this.
- Add wrapped loop dangles to the three loops at the bottom of the filigree, finishing the loops in place.
- Design Option: Patina the lever-back clips slightly to better match the filigree.
