Step 3. Bend the headpin to a 45◦ angle.
Step 4. Move the pliers so that one half is below the angle and the other above.
Step 5. Carefully bend the headpin around the top part of the pliers, forming the first part of the loop.
Step 6. Move the pliers again so that the top of the loop is sandwiched between the top and bottom parts of the pliers and continue to wrap the headpin until it completes the loop.
Step 7. Holding the loop with the round nose pliers, use a pair of flat nose pliers to hold the end of the head pin and slowly wrap around the neck of the headpin directly under the loop; continue until the headpin meets the bead and there is no longer a gap. Snip off excess with wire cutters and using the flat nose pliers gently squeeze to conceal the end of the headpin.
Step 8. The finished wrapped loops ready for use.
