Repeat between [ ] 4 more times.

On last repeat join last chain to middle picot of first chain. After last split ring slide last bugle and pass needle through. Join to top of first center ring.

Any size bugle bead can be used. The smaller the bead the less obvious the "V" is. Be very careful when working the last petal. Be sure to join in previous petal and then again to first petal being careful to not twist the work. As the work progresses watch the joins carefully. It is very easy to twist the work and join at the wrong spot. Every petal should have 2 bugle beads forming a "V" at the base.
