Feed a Magatama bead onto the wire. Wrap the wire tightly two times around the single strand of leather and then secure the bead with a wrap. Continue wrapping the wire around the leather strand, adding beads after every two wraps until you are 1 inch from the end of the leather.

Feed the end of the leather through the loop on the other side of the magnetic clasp. Fold the leather over ½ inch. Wrap the wire around the doubled leather tightly, tucking the end in and using the chain nose pliers to smooth any sharp ends.
