There is no ‘right’ way of making an eye pin or single wire loop.
I will show you 2 different ways (technique 1 and 2) and you can end up using your third way of doing it!!
As long as you end up with a loop at the end of your wire, then you’ve succeeded.
Don’t get discouraged if you can’t master it at first.
It takes a lot of practice to make perfect looking loops.
What you need:
20g or 22g wire (at least 6cm or longer)
Technique 1
Step 1:
Step 2:
Bend the tip of the wire 90 degrees by moving your pliers away from you.
Straighten the piece of wire more or less using your hands.
Grip the wire 2/3rd’s of the length with your round nose pliers.
Step 3:
Use your free hand to bend the tip of the wire clockwise around the nose of the plier to form a loop.
You might have to reposition your pliers once or twice.
Step 4:
Use your side cutters to cut the wire where the loop connects.
Step 5:
Use your chain or flat nose pliers to make the loop even.
Technique 2
Step 1:
Straighten the piece of wire more or less using your hands.
Grip the wire 2/3rd of the length with your round nose pliers.
Step 2:
Use your free hand to bend the tip of the wire clockwise around the nose of the plier to form a loop.
You might have to reposition your pliers once or twice.
Step 3:
Use your side cutters to cut the wire where the loop connects.
As you can see the loop is leaning to one side.
Step 4:
Position your round nose pliers as shown in the photo.
Tilt the loop slightly so it’s central to the wire.
