Damien take a lenght of line used to make the wishbone snood, say 3 feet or whatever you like. tie one of the chosen hooks to one end. thread on the beads/ sequins and stop knots you need. now tie on the second hook.

holding the 2 hooks together, tie a 3 turn loop knot. the trick is in the tightening. pull the knot tight keeping both hooks together at all times. this means they will clip down perfectly. the best way to achieve this is to place the hooks in the circular hole in a pliers or metal ruler. failing that place them onto a pliers handle.

now you will have the wishbone. cut the loop of line above the knot to form the snood. very effective and cheap!

hope this is clear, any questions just ask. hard to explain without dia.
