| Step 10: Now position your Fine Step Jaw pliers so that the
round jaw of the pliers is inside the two loops around peg 1. With
the WigJig Delphi, Cyclops or Centaur, push these loops all the way down
on the first step and grasp them securely with the pliers. While
holding the piece securely, with the pliers in your non-dominant hand, use
your dominant hand to wrap the wire tightly around the wire component two
full revolutions. If you don't have Fine Step Jaw pliers this can be
done with round nose pliers, but it will not come out as nice because of
the conical shape of these pliers. |

| Step 11: Cut the excess wire. Using your bent chain nose
pliers, gently squeeze the wire tail where you cut so that it lies flat.
This can be easily accomplished with a simultaneous squeeze and a slight
twist of your pliers. This completes the body component for your
earrings.
Step 12: Now we need to make two modified figure 8 connectors as described here. Use about 1 1/2 inch of 20 gauge wire to make each modified connector. Add the connector to the top of the earring body wire component by opening the loop on one end of the connector, sliding it into position and closing the loop. |
