How To make nice loops on head or eye pins:

  1. String selected beads on the head or eye pin.
  2. Keep about 8mm (1/3") of wire. Cut off any extra.
  3. Use round nose pliers to grasp the wire just above the bead, at the arrow, and bend sharply away from you.
  4. Now use small round nose pliers to grasp the tip of the wire, and bend it smoothly around the pliers down close to the beads.
