How to make a simple loop

printable version

Step 1.

String beads on to a head pin or  eye pin.

Step 2.

Cut off the extra wire, leaving 3/8" on top of the beads.

Step 3.

Bend the wire to form a 90° angle on top of the beads with your hand.

Step 4.

Find 1/4" from the tip of round nose pliers and make a mark.

Step 5.

Grab the very end of the the wire at the mark with pliers.

Step 6.

Turn your wrist to curl the wire upward toward the beads. Give a little bit of downward pressure while turning to prevent loosing the 90° angle.

Stop when the very end of the wire reach the midpoint of the imaginary complete loop.

Step 7.

Reposition the pliers (so your hand is in a comfortable position) and continue to curl until the end of the wire touches the 90° angle.
