I found that the easiest way to join back to the first ring in a circular motif is to roll the motif over your thumb and tuck the ring under so that the picot you need to join to is on the right. I hope this helps you a little bit, Michelle.
And I would just use a spot of PVA or wood glue or even a craft glue which dries clear. You could just tie little bows with the ends & glue them down.
What date in September are you getting married? Do tell.
