Step 1
Begin by flush cutting the end of a 3-inch piece of wire. | | Step 2
To make the loop to hang items from, begin by grasping the very end of the wire with the round nose pliers. | | Step 3
Rotate the pliers to create a loop. |
|
 | |
 | |
 |
|
Step 4
Grasp the wire just above the loop with your Wrap and Tap pliers. | | Step 5
Place the wire towards the base of the pliers - the largest part of the Wrap and Tap pliers. | | Step 6
Pull the wire back, down and around the pliers until the wire touches the loop. |
|
 | |
 | |
 |
|
Step 7
Then with the round nose pliers, hold the wire about in line with the small loop. | | Step 8
Slightly bend the wire back. This will put a soft bend in the wire. | | Step 9
Make a flush cut with the wire cutters just below the bend you just made. |

Step 10
Congratulations! One ear wire is now complete. Repeat steps 1 through 10 to complete a second ear wire. | | Step 11
As an alternative to finishing the ear wire with a flush cut, you can round the end of the ear wire. Begin with a flush cut end. | | Step 12
Place the tip of the wire rounder over the end of the wire. Rotate the wire rounder several times. |
|
 | | | | |
|
Step 13
Continue rotating the wire rounder until the end of the wire has a slightly rounded shape. | |
