Making a Spiral Head Pin Jewelry Wire Finding --
A Beginner's Jewelry Making Technique -- Page 6

Step 20:  From the front of the spiral, your spiral head pin will now appear as shown at right. 

Step 21:  Insert your spiral head pin into your glass bead or semi-precious stone until the top of the spiral is in contact with the stone or bead.  See the picture below-left. 

Step 22:  At this point we need to make a loop at the top of the stone or bead.  We begin the process of making the loop at the top, by gripping the wire immediately above the stone or bead with your bent chain nose pliers and bending the wire 90 degrees as shown below-center. 

Step 23:  Now we need to make a larger than normal loop at the top of the semi-precious stone or glass bead.  We want a larger loop than normal so that the end of a chain can pass through the loop.  If you have a very large clasp on your chain, you can connect the bead to the chain after this step is completed, but before the loop is wrapped closed in step 24.  There are a couple of ways to make a larger than normal loop.  The first way is to use your round nose pliers and make the largest possible loop that your pliers can support.  This is done by grasping the wire near the 90 degree bend with your round nose pliers as close to the hinge of the pliers as possible and then making the loop.  The second way is to place a 3/16" or 1/4" Super Peg in your jig and use that to make the loop.  Place your bead or stone on your jig, with the 90 degree bend as close to the Super Peg as possible and then wrapping the wire around the Super Peg.
