Making Nice Loops on Head Pins
This really is an easy process with just a couple of tricks. Load your beads onto the head pin, leaving about 1cm to make the eye. Use your round nose pliers (no not your husband's round nose, your jewellery making round nose pliers, there's a difference) to grasp the wire just above the last bead and bend to a 90degree angle. Hold your pliers in your hand with your palm facing up to the ceiling. With your pliers and palm facing up, grasp the wire at the very end and roll your hand toward the bead. There you've done it, a nice round loop. Don't quite "get it?" Then come in and see us for a quick demo.
