Hi all, When I did this a few years ago, someone on the list recommended using dental floss. Worked much easier than the wire. Load the floss with the beads... wrap it around the spot that you want the beads to go and then tie a nice square knot. I also threaded the ends through the beads both ways to hide the knot and to give it a bit more strength. So far, none of them have popped. Good luck! bobbi
