"Flag" style solder lugs can be made from copper sheet or thin copper bar.
Curl one end of the strip around the cable and drill a hole in the other end.
Drill shanks make good formers for curling it.
If you have a scrap of copper tube / water pipe it can be cut lengthwise to make some sheet. If you are lucky it will have the right I.D for the wire already. Flatten one end for a lug or use as a joiner to flexible wire.
For connecting solid wire to flexible wire with sheet form the sheet into a tube, poke the two ends in each end of the tube and solder. Heat shrink over.
