>> Hi all, I've gotten a safety pin beading kit (now I know why it's better

>> however, they don't give you the little tips and tricks needed to "make 
>> life easier" lol, so my 1st question is:
>> 1. when threading the pins onto the wire, what have you found to be the 
>> best method of preventing the pins coming off the other end of wire?
>> 2.  what is the easiest way to twist and hide the ends?
