Step 9: Make a wrapped loop eyepin

1.  Cut a 4 inch length of 22 gauge wire.

2.  Grab the wire about halfway down with your round-nosed pliers.

Tip: Mark your pliers with a permanent marker as a guide for wire placement.  This will help you make uniform loops.

3. Wrap the wire around the jaw of your round-nosed pliers to make a loop
