1. Open one side of the S Hook to allow the ring to come out of the hook.
2. Take one end of your Buddy Braids wire and thread 1 crimp tube approximately an inch from the end. Thread the ring you just removed from your S Hook clasp. Thread the end back through the crimp bead. Using a pair of pliers squeeze the crimp tube closed about a 1/8th of an inch away from the clasp. See illustration 1. Trim the excess leaving about a quarter of an inch, you will thread the first bead over both ends.
