Cut a piece of leather cord twice the desired length. Thread on a spacer bead in the middle of the leather cord and pull the cord back in through the bead to form a loop. Pull a crimp bead onto the wire and thread the wire through the loop of the leather cord and back through the crimp bead. Squeeze the crimp bead flat.
