How Can I Finish off a Multi Strand Leather Necklace with Wire Wrapped Ends?

Closeup of the necklace ends

I'm looking for a tutorial or help in completing a multi leather necklace / bracelet without end caps but wire wrapped.

I tried it and it is pretty ugly.

Thanks!

Here's one way...

Check out the examples on this website. I have finished Kumuhimo the same way. I used 20 gauge wire and began my wrap, winding tightly and evenly-the hardest part. When you have the length you want cut your leather even, cut your wire leaving enough room to make your loop on the end.
