How Do I Finish Off My Beading Wire Ends So They Don’t Poke?

How can I fix the problem I always have with the ends of beading wire poking out of the design and sticking the person?

I have watched numerous tutes on how to end a beaded piece of jewelry and have followed the directions to the tee. I always use 49 + stringing wire, and always feed plenty of this wire back through the design, but still always end up with the same issue of wire piercing the person.

I’ve tried using different glues to tuck in wire, but the glue always loosens up leaving me with the same dilemma. Any suggestions would really be greatly appreciated!
