You have done this correctly... the force is with you ;)

next step would be: google for million dollar knot and tie your own loops ;)

or leave it as it is, stick wax to ends of thread and start to levitate small objects :)

You did it right, though next time, try to avoid letting the thread wrap around itself. What I mean is, don't overlap the threads as much as possible. Why? Because every now and then, the thread loops may slip and tangle with itself. It's annoying when you can't pull out the thread because some part of the thread caught the part you're unraveling and have to untangle them.

I found that just a little bit of tension helps keep them from slipping onto each other.
