Making a Spiral Head Pin Jewelry Wire Finding --
A Beginner's Jewelry Making Technique -- Page 7

Step 24:  Grasp the loop in the wire with your bent chain nose pliers and hold it firmly.  This preserves the round shape in the loop.  While holding the loop, wrap the wire around the wire through the center of the stone our bead.  See the picture at right. 

Step 25:  Using your flush cutter, cut the excess wire. 

Step 26:  Where you cut the excess wire, there will be a short wire tail that you will need to squeeze and twist flat.  The best way to do this is to hold the loop with one pair of bent chain nose pliers and squeeze and twist the cut end of the wire with a second pair of chain nose or bent chain nose pliers.  See the picture below-left. 

Step 27:  The finished project will appear as shown below center.  Please note that we have oriented the loop at the top so that it is perpendicular to the spiral.  This will allow the spiral to be oriented properly while the pendant is being worn.  You can also use the same steps to make a spiral dangle without the bead as shown below-right.
