Now pierce through the meeting point of the rubber bands still on the opposite side of the original knot but make sure that the band you pulled through the middle of your flower is on your hook as well!

Secure the ends with a S/C clip and show off your cool new double daisy bracelet. The flower wasn't invented by me but the extensions were. If I had just used the slip knot to start the extension then the flower wouldn't have kept its shape! So I came up with this it works with a lot of charms!
