String on the clear facet bead onto the headpin then insert the headpin with the clear bead inside of the cake making sure the headpin comes out of the middle of the white bicones on top of the cake (*see Fig. A of cake top diagram).  Tie both ends of the monofilament into a knot then rethread the remaining ends of the monofilament through all the beads so the cake slice is more secure and firmer.  When it feels firm enough, cut off the remaining ends of the monofilament.  String on the red facet bead and the 3 mm. green bicone onto the headpin then wirewrap the headpin.
