I used a larger hook (6.50mm) to make a loop for the fringe.
Thread both tails and slide your beads on. I used 7. Place your large hook between the two strands and tie a double knot (loosely-big enough to fit the strands of yarn through). Leave the hook in the loop. Pick up the 12 pieces of yarn and lay them on your hook, pull the loop over the pieces of yarn until you have a loop big enough to put 2 fingers through. Use the loop the pinch the tail ends of the yarn and pull through.
