I melted the ends and made a pointed end to help get them through, and needed an opened up paperclip to push the 2nd one through each side.

I tried 12mm wooden beads with 3mm holes and the smallest paracord available. Hole and bead too small, sent them back. Trying 18mm wooden elongated beads with 5mm hole next time.

bought beads at Walmart and used reg 4' boot laces. the plastic ends on the strings made it easy to push 2 through the beads. then tie knot cut off 1 plastic and put the other in the alligator clip and crimp.
