Take the end of one length of Buddy Braids wire and thread one Antique Silver-Plated Crimp Tube approximately an inch from the end.  Thread the top loop of your clasp.  Thread the end back through the crimp tube.  Using crimping pliers (or any pliers you have) squeeze the crimp tube about a 1 /8th of an inch away from the clasp.  Trim the excess leaving about a half an inch, you will thread the beads over both.
