Easy
- Thread the bead onto the hook, run on the thread and tie in the copper braid down to the bend
- Tie in the yarn, wind forward in touching turns, tie in and remove the waste.
- Fold the braid forward, tie in and cut off the waste.
- Dub the thorax pushing the bead up against the eye.
- Smear the thread with varnish and whip finish behind the bead.
