In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to make a wrapped eye pin wire loop.

Wrapped eye pins are more secure because they are wrapped, so they CAN NOT be pulled open like the simple eye pin wire loop.

LEVEL: BEGINNER

Step 1

Using your needle nose pliers, make a bend in the wire about 2″ from top.

Step 6

Position a pair of pliers over the loop as shown (preferably nylon jaw pliers – mine were broken so I used flat nose pliers).

This is to keep the loop and the base wire steady while you are wrapping
