Thread your memory wire through the hole in the braided leather. This can be fiddly at first. If the wire gets stuck, feel the leather to see how far through it has got. When you find where the wire is stuck, wiggle the leather a bit and it should continue feeding through.

Cut off any excess memory wire using wire cutters. You may also wish to cut the braided leather depending on where you'd like the crystal ends to be positioned.

Push the crystal end on to the end of the braided leather. It's quite a tight fit, but it will be easier to glue on if you've tried it before. Take the end off and add fevi kwik glue. Replace the end to secure to the leather. Repeat this for the other end.
