Janice asked: " how do you add it to your lace?"

Couronnes (rings) are stitched to the completed lace using just a stab
stitch.   You can leave a long end, when you finish making the couronne, and
have joined upo the last stitch, and then use that long end to stab stitch
it in place.

I like small holes in the centre of my couronnes, so, instead of using the
ring stick, I use the eye end of a tapestry needle - about a # 24, - and
start the couronne on that.  After the first 2 or 3 stitches, I take it off,
and hold it in my fingers - a bit fiddley, but it gets the knots of the
stitches on the edge.  If you make the whole thing on a ring stick, you may
find the knots all sit to one side.  I don't know why, but they do!  I use
the eye end, as then I can get my fine sewing needle into the wrapped
stitches more easily.

The trace method is the easiest, I think.
