 Step
12: We need to bend the initial and final loops down so that they
lay flat as shown at left. The best way to do this is to insert your
round nose or step jaw pliers into the loops, one at a time, and while
holding the loop in the jaws of your pliers, use your fingers to bend the
end of the wire down.

Step
13: Now we need to bend the end loops by 45 degrees. This is
done so that in the finished Bottom Wire Component, the two loops will lay
flat one against the other. For the top loop as shown above - left,
bend the loop 45 degrees up as shown in the small picture on the right.
For the bottom loop, bend the wire 45 degrees down. Perform this
bend by grasping the loop in the jaws of your bent chain nose pliers held
in your dominant hand and holding the wire adjacent to the loop in the
fingers of your non-dominant hand then twisting the wire. 
Step
14: The Bottom Wire Component is completed by bending the beginning
and ending wire segments together as shown at left. This is done,
one at a time, by grasping and holding the loop made on peg 2 with your
bent chain nose pliers and pushing the wire 45 degrees. In this
case, it may be easier to hold the pliers in your non-dominant hand and
push the wire with the fingers of your dominant hand. When both
sides have been bent, the finished Bottom Wire Component should appear as
shown at left.
