Making a Bead Dangle Jewelry Making Technique -- Page 5

Step 17:   The final step in making a wrapped bead dangle is to squeeze and twist the small cut end of the wire flat.  This step requires two pair of chain nose pliers.  One pair of chain nose pliers is required to hold the loop in the wire just as we did in step 13  The second pair of chain nose pliers is used to squeeze and twist the very short cut end of the wire flat.  In the picture at left, the pliers at the bottom hold the loop while the pliers on the top squeeze and twist the cut end of the wire until it is flat.   The end result is the finished wrapped bead dangle shown at right.
