Per side

Directions

Sand down one side of each hex nut around the hole.
Sand down both sides of the steel washer.
Apply superglue to one side of the washer, center it over one of the hex nuts and press down to glue it in place.
Repeat the process with the other hex nut so that both nuts are attached to the same washer
Before proceeding, make sure whatever cord you're using fits inside of the nylon spacer, both nuts and washer.
Apply superglue to the nylon spacer and place it in the smaller nut. Hold it in until the glue dries a little bit. This bit acts as a cord stabilizer to keep the cord in the center of the bead.
Repeat for the second bead.

Pro-tips

If your beads come unglued during play and you want to stick them back together, scrape the dried glue off of the beads before reapplying new glue. I find it easiest to use pliers to hold the bead and a dull knife to scrape the glue off -- just be careful with the knife.
Superglue dries quickly when it comes into contact with skin.
You can swap out the steel 5/16" nut with a nylon one to cut the weight down.
