Cut about 20 cm of nylon turtle thread. Thread a Crimp bead followed by a closed ring.
Pass the end of the wire back through the Crimp bead to form a loop around the ring. Leave about 1-2 cm of wire after the bead, then crush it firmly with crush bead pliers or flat-nose pliers. Then add a crushable bead cover for a clean finish, and close it gently with flat-nose pliers.
