Process

Mark Seed Bead Area

• Set the hurricane cylinder on the base
• Mark above the base onto the cylinder, 
• If using a candle holder, mark 1/4" - 1/2",
• to create a clean line and keep seed beads off surface
• Mark from bottom mark of cylinder to top. 
• how far you want your seed beads, between about 1/3 of height
• Place tape on outside of marks, to keep glue inside the area/lines

Glue on Seed Beads

• Repeat 1 - 3 until bottom section is covered with seed beads

1. Apply & spread E6000 glue, in sections, between marked lines
2. Sprinkle seed beads onto the glue
3. Press the seed bead into glue with your finger, to make sure its into the glue 
4. Remove tape
5. Let dry 24 hours
6. Gently brush over the seed bead, to remove any loose beads
7. Fill in any open spots, if desired

Glue on Twine

• Spread some glue in a spot, above seed beads
• Press the end of the twine into the glue and wrap twine around cylinder, above the seed bead
• Apply glue in various spots to keep twine in place
• Wrap as high as you want and press into glue
• Let glue dry for 24 hours

Glue on StarFish

• Spread on the twine, and let it soak into twine, build a small mound of glue
