9: Using your round nose pliers grasp the short wire segment near
the bend as shown at left. Grasp with the wire close to the tips of
your round nose pliers as we want this loop to be rather small. Wrap
the wire up and over the jaw of your pliers as shown at right. You
won't be able to complete the loop in one movement because the jaws of
your pliers will be in your way.

This WigJig jewelry making project is provided as part of WigJig University - College of Jewelry Designs. We try to provide interesting jewelry projects using beads, jewelry wire and other jewelry supplies. We hope that these pictures will provide you enough information for you to complete this project. Some of the skills and techniques have not been discussed here. For beginners, we suggest that you visit our Beginners Start Here pages. These pages discuss the skills necessary for making jewelry in the detail that beginners need. We also suggest that beginners to making jewelry might need to visit the WigJig University College of Jewelry Techniques for additional information about some of the skills and techniques shown.
Most, but not all of the jewelry supplies shown here can be purchased in our WigJig store. We try to have a complete selection of jewelry supplies in our store including chain, wire, glass beads, findings, watches, tools, etc.
Step
10: Reposition your wire in the jaws of your round nose pliers so
that you can complete this loop. After you have repositioned the
wire, push the wire to complete the loop. The remove the wire from
your pliers. 
Step
11: Cut the excess wire with your flush cutter and close the small
loop you just completed with your bent chain nose pliers. Please
note that the colored wire used here is not appropriate for use as ear
wires due to possibly carcinogenic chemicals in the dyes used to color the
wire. This wire was used here because it is easier to get quality
pictures using this colored wire and because it is inexpensive. 
Step

beads.
