HOW TO MAKE PERFECT WIRE WRAPPED LOOPS TUTORIAL
Step 1 of 10
Ready all items from the Materials and Tool list (fig. 1a).
Prepare a string of 22-gauge gold copper wire (fig. 1b).
Leave a length of one inch on the wire and make a right angle bend using a chain nose pliers (fig. 1c, 1d, 1e).
Then, place your round nose pliers at the bent corner (fig. 1f).
Wrap the wire along the tip of your round nose pliers to make a small wire loop (fig. 1g, 1h).
Step 2 of 10
Next, hold the shape of your small wire loop with the chain nose pliers (fig. 2a).
Then, coil the shorter loose wire end around the other wire for about 4 coils as shown (fig. 2b, 2c).
Trim the excess wire with a wire cutter (fig. 2d, 2e).
Flatten the trimmed wire end with your chain nose pliers to avoid surface scratching (fig. 2f, 2g, 2h).
Step 3 of 10
Moving on, take a bead of your choice and slip it through the 22-gauge wire (fig. 3a, 3b, 3c).
Leave a space on your wire and make a right angle bend with your chain nose pliers (fig. 3d, 3e, 3f, 3g).
Then, make a small wire loop using a round nose pliers (fig. 3h, 3i, 3j, 3k).
