Wind them the same way as any other strings with 2-3 wraps around the post. Being coated doesnt change how to string them in any way.

You're not actually literally wrapping them, are you? By hand?

Take a pair of pliers. Use them to put a 90 degree bend on the last bit of the string - I simply put the string across the width of the pliers and use the width of the pliers as the amount that I bend the string - simply close the jaws and put the bend in. Then push the bent section vertically downwards into the hole in the middle of the tuning peg and wind away until the string is up to tension. It's harder to describe than it is to do.
