Step One: Bend the hoop
Use your pliers to bend the end (non loop side) of your hoop at a 90 degree angle. You should be able to gently push it through the center of the loop on the other side to create a clasp that holds the hoop closed.

Step Two: Align the sequins to the hoop
Next you want to place your sequin trim face down in front of you. Place the hoop on top and align the string of the sequin strand with the outer curve of the hoop. Use your hot glue gun to secure the strand to hoop, but leave an opening (approx. ½”) at the side with the clasp.

Step Three: Glue the sequins to the hoop
After you finish gluing the first row to the hoop, make a ‘u-turn’ with your strand to create the second row of sequins. The second row should be placed on top of the first row with the edges of the sequins aligned snuggly against the string of the first row. Glue to keep the second row in place and repeat for the third row.
