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.
