Cut 3-4” of wire.
Use your round nose pliers to bend the wire until it forms a right
angle.
Grasp the bend in the wire with your round nose pliers. Bring the wire
up and over the top jaw of your pliers with your fingers.
Grip the loop you just created with your round nose pliers and with
your fingers wrap the wire down and around the bottom jaw of the
pliers.
Grasp the loop with your chain nose pliers and with your fingers wrap
the excess wire around the stem. Coil the wire neatly around the
stem.
Use side cutters to trim the excess wire.
Use your chain nose pliers to push the end flush against the wrapped
area to ensure the sharp edge is minimized.
Slide bead onto wire.
Repeat steps 2-7 for other side.

Tip:

		Using Jump Rings
	Hold jump ring with two pairs of pliers. To open jump ring, bring a pair of pliers toward you while holding the other pliers stable. To close jump ring, reverse step 1.




		Attaching Beaded Head Pins to Earring Findings
	Gently open head pin loop with chain nose pliers. Insert open loop through earring finding. Gently close head pin loop with chain nose pliers.

		Creating a Connector Using an Eye Pin
	Slide bead(s) onto an eye pin in the pattern you desire. Use your round nose pliers to bend the eye pin until it forms a right angle with the rest of the eye pin. Grasp the very end of the eye pin with the tip of your round nose pliers. Roll the eye pin back onto itself to form a round loop. Use side cutters to trim the excess wire. Use the tip of your round nose pliers to center the loop above the rest of the wire. To connect the eye pin to other materials, gently open and close the loop with your chain nose pliers.
