Step 22:  The remaining steps in making the catch-end connector are shown below.  First, you wrap the wire around pegs 2 and 3 as shown upper-left.  Then you remove the wire from your jig and replace it back on the jig in the position show upper-center.  Next you wrap the wire around peg 2 as shown upper-right.  When you remove the wire from the jig, it should appear as shown lower-left.  Using your bent chain nose pliers, grasp each end loop in turn and wrap the wire around itself as shown lower-center.  Finally, cut the excess wire and squeeze the cut ends flat, leaving you with a finished catch-end wire component as shown lower-right. 

Step 23 to 2 Strand Jewelry Wire & Beads Bracelet Jewelry Making ProjectStep 23:  To finish your 2 Strand bracelet you need to add a 2x2mm crimp bead to each segment of Soft Flex and then thread the Soft Flex through the loop in one end of the catch-end wire component that you completed in step 22, and then back through the crimp bead.  You will probably need to grasp the Soft Flex with your chain nose pliers to help pull all the slack out of the Soft Flex, leaving your crimp bead snugly against the catch-end wire component.  Do that for both sides before you crimp either crimp bead closed.  Once you have the crimp beads in the right position for both strands and the slack pulled out of the Soft Flex, then, crimp the two crimp beads closed.  After you have finished crimping each crimp bead closed, then cut the excess Soft Flex wire and you have finished.
