Description

Eye and Head Pin
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.
Wire Wrap Basic
Wrapped Loops
  1. Use chain-nose pliers to grasp the wire just above the top of the bead.
  2. Use your fingers to bend the wire sharply over the top of the pliers, at a 90° angle. You should have 2-3mm of straight wire between the bead and the bend.
  3. Use round-nose pliers to grasp a spot just above the bend, and use your fingers to smoothly bend the wire all the way around the tip of the pliers.
  4. Now use pliers to grasp the wire firmly across the loop. Use your fingers or chain-nose pliers to carefully wrap the wire around the stem. For best control, experts recommend you break this step into a series of half wraps.
  5. Trim excess with flush cutters.

Bullion, French Wire and Gimp      Coiled from round (instead of flat) plated brass wire.    Each package contains approx. 1 meter (about 3 feet).    Use about 0.25 inches (6-7mm) bullion to attractively cover and  protect the loop of silk (or other bead cord) at the end of a  necklace or bracelet.    Handle bullion with care. Do not tug or pull  it.      Bullion (or French wire) was originally used to finish silk bead  cord ends, primarily for knotted pearl necklaces. It attractively hides and  protects the end of the cord. It is now gaining popularity as an  elegant way to finish/hide the exposed end loops of stringing cable  (tigertail, Beadalon, Softflex, etc., also known as beading wire)        Using Bullion to Finish Cord  Ends        Start necklace.       String a crimp bead onto your beading cable.    Cut about 1/4" (6mm) of bullion. String this onto your beading  cable. Pull up snug to the crimp bead.    String a split ring, or the loop of your clasp, over the  bullion. Or, you can add a jump ring to this spot later.    Make a loop by going back into the crimp bead and gently pull  the loop snug.    Crimp the crimp bead.    You may want to tuck the short end of your stringing cable into  the last few beads.        [String necklace or bracelet here ...]    Finish necklace.       String a crimp bead.    String 1/4" (6mm) of bullion onto your beading cable. Pull up  snug to crimp bead.    String a split ring, or finding of your choice, over the  bullion.    Make a loop by going back into the crimp bead and gently pull  the loop snug.    Crimp the crimp bead and snip cord or feed the leftover cord  back into end bead.            Other easy finishing  methods    Crimp covers and wire guardian are two quick-and-easy finishing  methods which produce professional-looking results.       Crimp covers, once in place, nicely hide a  flattened crimp inside a 3mm round bead, Can't get that mangled  crimp to look like a bead, or don't feel like trying? Just conceal  it with a crimp cover for a smooth bead every time. Now you can  focus on making a crimp that holds instead of a crimp that looks  nice. Just make sure you save enough space around your crimp bead,  so that you can cover it with this 3mm "bead."    Wire guardians are used much the same way as  bullion. They are ideal for Beadalon and other beading cable. They  "guard" the beading cable from excessive wear.
