What you have in the pic is a lion collar jig. You can wire tie them with a little practice. You can get more flair if you make a channel in the lead close to the head and put your wire in it.
If you have trouble with the wire you can use thread to get everything positioned then put the wire on. I sometimes do that when I have several different colors to put on.
If you can, don’t put the weed guard in until last. That will make everything much easier.
