wrapping with wire on the end (or fancy hang man noose type of knots?)

If you're a member of IOLI, the next (July) Bulletin will have a 
drawing/short instructions on how to wrap and securely finish off a 
wire (use a Magic Loop . I think tatters have been using that technique 
for ages). But I'm not sure how useful it will be vis-a-vis spangling. 
Spangles are best when the beads are tightly packed, and I think that 
the "wrap and pull with Magic Loop" method needs a bit of room to 
maneouvre.
