Very easy
- Run on the thread at the eye and take around the bend in touching turns.
- Tie in four beads of chain along the back of the hook with thread wraps between each of the beads. Colour the beads with an orange marker pen.
- Tie in a length of 3mm organza ribbon at the bend.
- Dub between the beads.
- Brush the dubbing down, fold the ribbon forward over the beads, tie in and remove the waste.
- Build a neat head, whip finish and remove the thread.
- Coat the ribbon and the head with UV-resin and cure.
