Prepare Beading Cord

1. Start by pulling off the cord from the card, tie a few over hand knots on the end of the cord one on top of the other, and trim off excess cord. (Though the bends in the cord will eventually fall out, you can get rid of them quickly by ironing it on a low temperature.)

2. Dab some glue or clear polish on the knot to help keep it closed.

3. Slip on a bead tip, and use flat nosed pliers to close the cup of the bead tip around the knot.
