Please give a little more explanation to this part of the process: "then flip each cluster over the leather once to lock it into place." Thank you!

Thanks for your comment. Basically you are just trying to attach the wired needles to your leather or ribbon. To do this, you can either just weave the leather in and out of the needle bundles so that the wired needles rest on the leather and then you can secure the wire to the ends of the leather (or ribbon)...or what I did was to lay the line of wired needles up to the leather and flip every other bundle up the over the leather. This will twist the wire a bit to the leather and hold the wired line in place pretty securely. Hope this helps.

I agree that this was not very clear. I think the problem might be that a reader looks at the garland and assumes they're going to cut little pieces of wire to twist around the bundles of needles and then attach the bundles to the leather/cord, but what you've suggested is to have basically make a garland of needles on wire by twisting needle-bundles on one continuous cord and then covering the wire with leather. It's difficult to see that in the pictures, and takes a bit of thought to understand what you've done.
