Step 11

Step 12:  Now we need to change the initial loop at the end of the legs of the V into an "Eye" loop instead of a "P" loop.  This is done by grasping the wire near the loop with the tips of your round nose pliers and bending the wire back.  For a picture of this jewelry making technique see the picture toward the bottom of the page here.  This completes the V shaped wire component.
