Greetings, 
   I use a small pair of vise grips.  Make a loop in the existing end by 
grabbing the very end and turning it clockwise 270 degrees, so that it crosses 
over itself.  Make another look in your new piece by turning it counterclockwise. 
 Then, invert it, hook across the existing piece and feed the end through 
your first loop.  
Draw tight, cut to length, tune. 
Regards,
