Instruction:

Run on the thread behind the tungsten bead and remove the tag end.
Push the beads forward against the hook eye and lock them in place with thread turns against the back of the tungsten bead.
Fold the ribbon back over the top and bottom of the beads, tie in and trim off the waste ends.
Take the thread back to the hook bend and tie in a piece of tinsel. Wrap the tinsel in overlapping turns up to the beads and tie in. Leave the waste end hanging.
Place the tying tags of the tail on either side of the tinsel body and tie in.
Cover the exposed thread with wraps of tinsel, tie in, trim off the waste and whip finish.
Run a bead of UV resin along the body to secure the edges of the ribbon tail, then cover the ribbon around the beads with a thin coat of resin and set the resin.
