Description
Basic Loops
- The loop size will depend on how much wire you leave past the end of your beads, and around which part of your pliers you bend the loop. A good loop size is usually about 1/3 of the way from the tip of your pliers, with about 8mm of wire.
- Use round needle-nose pliers.
- If using an eye pin, decide which way you want the loop to go - the same direction as the premade loop on the other end, or 90º off. Keep this direction in mind as you bend the rest of the wire.
- Cut off any excess wire (we suggest retaining 8mm above the top of your beads).
- Grip the pin just above the top bead (at the arrow above), and bend the wire sharply toward you.
- Grasp the tip of the wire with pliers, and bend smoothly away from you, around the pliers.
