Step 15 to Spiral Head Pin Jewelry Wire Finding -- Jewelry Making TechniqueStep 15:  Now we need to change our grip with the bent chain nose pliers.  Reposition your pliers as shown at right.  This new grip will allow us to preserve the shape of the spiral as we wrap the short wire tail around the long wire segment. 

Step 16:  While firmly holding the spiral, wrap the short wire segment around the long wire segment as shown below-left. 

Step 17:  When the wrap is completed, your wire should appear as shown below-center. 

Step 18:  Using your flush cutter, you need to cut the excess wire as shown below-right.
