[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Pony bead question

[terrypowers59 at gmail.com]

How about adding some green or brown beads and making a branch and then at
each end, use a clamp bead on the edge of each piece of wire.

I can not think of the right name for the bead.  You use a beading tool and
squeeze the wire inside the bead, like when you end memory wire bracelets.

Hope someone else can explain it better.  I never learned how to do it!

I just remade my pony bead penguin using wire instead of string, and it came
out nice.  However, the bead holes will only take 2 strands of wire, so I
can't tuck the ends of the wire into the beads.  Can I twist the ends
together to hold them, then curl up the ends, or is there a better way?
