Step 11: Now we need to grasp each of these eye loops with your bent chain nose pliers, one at a time, and bend or twist them 90 degrees. When the wire component is laying flat on the table the two loops should be perpendicular to the surface of the table. This is hard to show in a 2 dimensional picture, but the picture below is taken from the side to try to show this.
Step 12: At this point we need to bring the two loops together so that they end up as shown below. This is done first by grasping the wire with your bent chain nose pliers just below the loop and bending it slightly. Do this for both loops. Using your hands, bend the two top wire segments together so that when your hands are removed they naturally rest against each other. This approach is called "hand finishing".
Step 13: Using the excess wire from making the wire component, cut off one end of the wire with a flush cut and make a loop in that end of the wire.
Step 14: Place this loop over the top left peg in your WigJig Cyclops.
Step 15: Add a 4mm bead to the wire and position the bead so that it rests between the two pegs as shown.
Step 16: Now wrap the wire around the top, right peg as shown.
