It's called a larS-P-A-M-L-I-N-K-s head: using the loop at the end of the line... Put your thumb and forefinger through the loop and pinch the line behind the loop... Pull the line you pinched though the loop making a slip-knot... Put the knot on the end of your bridle through the slip-knot and pull it tight.... You should be set from there.

Here's an easy tutorial page from kitty hawk kites:
