text: what is the proper way to tie cub scout tiger beads?   a simple overhand knot in the bottom will hold the beads ok. there is no one right way.   you can either do the 'loop'- tie both ends to the belt device, or the 'dangle'- use two lines and let them hang free.  in either case, a simple overhand knot will prevent it from pulling through but still letting you redo it as desired.
