13. Now, slide on the heart-shaped bead tip, making sure the open part faces away from the beads previously strung.
14. Measure about 4 inches away from the last bead station, and tie 2 – 3 overhand knots, one on top of the other, on the beading wire.
15. Use wire cutters to trim off excess wire, slide the bead tip over the knot, and use flat-nosed pliers to gently close the bead tip around the knot.
16. Repeat this process (steps 13 – 15) for the other side of the necklace.
