How to make a wrapped eye pin – Wire Loop

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 2

Place your round nose pliers as shown.

Step 3

Bring the 2″ piece up and around the top barrel of the round nose pliers.

Step 4

Complete the loop as shown by performing a twisting motion with your wrist.

Step 5

This is what the wire loop should look like.

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

Step 7

Using the pliers to keep everything secure, start wrapping.

Step 8

Make 2-3 wraps and use your cutters to cut excess wire off at base.

Step 9

Use a pair of needle nose pliers to squeeze the end so it’s not sticking out.
