Creating a Connector Using a Wire

1. Cut 3-4” of wire.
2. Use your round nose pliers to bend the wire until it forms a right angle.
3. Grasp the bend in the wire with your round nose pliers. Bring the wire up and over the top jaw of your pliers with your fingers.
4. Grip the loop you just created with your round nose pliers and with your fingers wrap the wire down and around the bottom jaw of the pliers.
5. Grasp the loop with your chain nose pliers and with your fingers wrap the excess wire around the stem. Coil the wire neatly around the stem.
                                                                                                                      
6. Use side cutters to trim the excess wire.
7. Use your chain nose pliers to push the end flush against the wrapped area to ensure the sharp edge is minimized.
                                                                                                           
8. Slide bead onto wire.
9. Repeat steps 2-7 for other side.
