[Nfb-krafters-korner] Saftey pin beading question

[Barb Roland]

Thank you everyone, you've all been very helpful. I think I've found me a 
new craft and am so excited about the upcoming beading classes.
I wanted to attempt a beading project before taking classes in order to 
become familiar with the pieces of the kit, I learn better this way and now 
feel I'll be able to follow along in the classes.
I believe it was Greg who asked what I'm working on, I chose to start off 
with a round lidded bowl/candy dish.

>> 2.  what is the easiest way to twist and hide the ends?
