Avoiding circular reference between two forms in separate projects?

I currently have a setup that looks like:

Project1
-- Form1

Project2
-- Form2

Defined in Form2 there is a button that when clicked would open Form1.
This worked just fine.

Now there is a requirement that Form1 gets a button that can open Form2.
This creates a circular reference.    How can I get around this?

Each Project is not a Form, but a class. The application creates an instance
of the class when you run it. You can create multiple instances of a class.
Therefore, you don't open the first form from the second form, if the second
form was opened by the first. Instead, you open a new instance of the first
form's class.
