You might get a spliced cable to work. I've had luck doing it in the past.

I wouldn't use wire-nuts though ... just use electrical tape on each wire and then tape the whole thing together.

For a permanent solution I'd go get a crimper, some CAT5 and some RJ45 keys at Home Depot.

Or go wireless ...

Final edit-- remember, twisted pair is twisted for a reason ... try to keep from straightening out the cables too much.
