Step 8: Make a tiny wrapped loop behind your disc to secure your bead. 1. Use your round-nosed pliers to bend the wire into a tiny loop, removing and repositioning them as needed. 2. Grap the loop with your chain-nosed pliers and wrap the wire tail around the bottom of the loop 2 or 3 times. 3. Flush cut the wire and tuck it down close to the wrap with your chain-nosed or (my personal favourite) the round part of your crimping pliers. |
