String a crimp tubeand pass through theconnection nding. Passback through the tube,leaving a short tail.

A tension bead (or stopperbead) holds your work in place.To make one, string a beadlarger than those you are work-ing with, then pass through the bead one or moretimes, making sure not to split your thread.
