- Thread a small glass embroidery bead onto a length of black wire, fold and twist the wire to fix the bead at the end.
- Cut a piece of bead tube to the length of the hook shank and heat the end near a flame.
- Push the twisted wire through the tube and pull the bead up to the melted end.
- Run on the tying thread behind the tungsten bead and add turns to lock the bead in place.
- Tie in the bead cord on top of the hook with the glass head hanging over the bend.
- Tie down along the hook with tight wraps to compress the tube.
- Tie in the wire ends behind the tungsten bead and twist to break off the wires.
- Catch in s length of yarn at the bend and tie down up the shank.
- Wind the yarn forward, tie in behind the bead and remove the waste end.
- Pull some fibres out of the waste piece and use them to dub behind the bead.
