       The rosettes were 
        simple to fashion. Cut three one-yard pieces of cording and braid them 
        into one cord. Use hot glue at each end to hold the braid together and 
        prevent fraying.  
      I considered many 
        ways to hold the braid in the circular shape, while still having the flexibility 
        to mold it on-site into a perfect circle which has a bit of a dome on 
        the front for a three-dimensional look. Hand stitching or hot glue may 
        have been too stiff or would have broken. 
      I opted to use one 
        inch safety pins to hold the braid in the circular shape. As I shaped 
        the circle, I used the pins to hold the layers together. It took onl;y 
        a handful of pins for each rosette. The end result was a stable, but flexible 
        accessory which could easily be attached to the treatment.
