Thread a piece of silver thread through the coils; one at the top and one at the bottom. Use a needle to tie a knot on the silver thread so it is right against the quilled coil. Pass only one thread though the prism-shaped bead at the bottom and let the other thread pass outside the bead. Tie a knot.
