Hello,

    It's really not necessary to solder a mounting on the arrowhead. I
    use fine rope-twist sterling wire and wrap around the waist of the
    arrowhead, as would have been done to fasten it to an arrow shaft.
    The wire should be long enough to have at least an inch extra after
    the wrapping is done. That length is shaped into a "hangman's noose"
    bail to suspend the arrowhead from a cord or chain. 

    Not difficult and fairly quick. Good luck with your project and let
    us see the finished piece.
