Friends don't let friends terminate twisted pair cable into 8P8C plugs. Without lots of practice it is likely to go wrong and end up with a poor connection which somewhere down the line will be intermittent. Decent crimping tools are also quite expensive.
Punch down cables in your walls/floors to sockets which is much easier to do and buy factory terminated patch leads. If you can't screw the box to the wall you can use a surface mount socket as a flying socket, something like https://cpc.farnell.com/pro-signal/psg08000/socket-surface-rj45-cat6-single/dp/CS16167
