It is just straight on the other end. You would put your bead (or beads) on it and form a loop on the other end so that it can dangle.

It looks pretty much like a straight pin without the point.

Worst come to worst I will use straight pins but they are harder to bend to form a loop.
Thanks so Much, Susan L. That is exactly what I was looking for. Will give you 10 points as soon as the time has passed so I can do it.
