STEP 1
Cut a length of wire. Gather a few lengths of cording that fit the internal diameter of your cord cap. Wrap the wire around the cords to secure them together.
STEP 2
Insert a headpin into the cord cap so the ball or flat end of the headpin rests inside the cord cap. TIP: If the headpin comes through the hole, place a small bali-style rondelle or small round bead onto the end of the headpin so it remains inside the cord cap.
STEP 3

Apply adhesive to the cording and insert into the cord cap. Let the adhesive cure overnight.
STEP 4
Create a wrapped loop on the end of the headpin.
