Step 13 of 15

Repeat Step 10 for the top wire frame ending structure:

  • Trim off excess wire and smoothen the end (fig. 13a, 13b, 13c, 13d).
  • Create a twist structure with round nose pliers (fig. 13e, 13f).
  • Finish wrapping up the top wire frame (fig. 13g, 13h, 13i).

To make a fuller twist structure, use a nylon jaw pliers as shown (fig. 13j, 13k).

Step 14 of 15

We will create the clasp hook for this step.

Use a stepped bail making pliers to make a 90-degree curl towards your direction as shown (fig. 14a, 14b.

Place the clasp hook and hoop side by side for a better view (fig. 14c).

Then, trim the excess wire from the clasp hook (fig. 14d, 14e, 14f).

Finish the clasp hook by hammering it flat (fig. 14g).

Trim off sharp end and smoothen it out with needle file (fig. 14h, 14i, 14j, 14k, 14l).
