How You Can Make Perfect Wire Loops

Wire loops are used a lot in jewelry making, but do you know how to make one? This tutorial will show you how to make a perfect loop and a twisted loop. Take a look, it is so easy do!

To make the loops you need this:

- Chain-nose pliers
- Round-nose pliers
- Jewelry wire

Making a loop:


Step 1:
Bend the wire with at pair of chain-nose pliers, close to the bead, and about 1 cm from the tip of the wire.




Step 2:
Grip the end of the wire with a pair of round-nose pliers.




Step 4:
Hold the end of the wire with the round-nose pliers, and begin to curve the end into a loop, by turning the pliers. Release the pliers, and reposition it closer to the midt of the loop, and continue to turn until the loop is closed.

And there you go, a perfect round loop. Easy, wasn't it?

Lets move on to:




Making a twisted loop:

Step 1:
Cut a piece of wire, about 7 cm. Use the Chain-nose pliers to make a 90 degree angle, about 3 cm from the end.

Step 2:
Swap the Chain-nose pliers for a pair of round-nose pliers, and position them in the bend of the wire.

Step 3:
Bend the wire over the top of the upper jaw of the round-nose pliers, and downwards.

Step 4:
Remove the round-nose pliers and turn them around. Position the lower jaw into the loop and bend the wire around it, so that you have a loop.

Step 5:
Use the chain-nose pliers to hold the loop.

Step 6:
While holding it, twist the end of the loop around the wire in 3-4 coils. Use a flush cutter to cut of the rest of the wire.

And, that's it, you have made a perfect twisted loop.
