Step 5. Push your round nosed pliers into the centre of each coil to make a cone shape.
Step 6. Fold the two coils together and manipulate the rings to give even spacing between the wire coils. To enclose a bead: place a bead between the cones, close the two halves and thread a piece of wire or headpin through the bead. Make a loop on either side of the bead ready to use in your design.
Step 7. Wire hook: this can be made from a single or double length of wire. Cut 10cm of wire. Fold in half, use your flat nosed pliers to squeeze the wires together. Position the pliers leaving 2cm to make the loop. Separate the 2 ends of wire, take one and wrap around the second piece of wire twice, then trim.
Step 8. Place your round nosed pliers on the tip of the remaining wire and twist to make a double loop.
Step 9. Place your round nosed pliers half way along the length of the double wire, fold in half to make a ‘U’ shape. Remove the pliers and replace on the tip of the hook and kink the wire to give a curved finish.
Step 10. Centre coiled connector: Cut 10cm of wire. Place the round nosed pliers in the centre of the wire. Pull the wire around the nose of the pliers and crossover to make a loop. You will need to open and reposition the pliers as you twist to make a coil. Repeat until you have 3 coils of wire.
Step 11. Leave your pliers through the centre of the loop. Bend the wire from being across the nose of the pliers, to being in line with the side of the pliers. Bend one forwards and one backwards.
Keep going around and around until you have a 1cm tail on each end. Make a loop on each side.
Step 12. Bead cap twist: Cut 15cm of 0.8mm wire. Place your round nose pliers on the tip of the wire and twist to make a loop. Feed on a bead (the bead in the picture is an 8mm glass round). On the opposite end of the wire, place your round nose close to the bead and bend the tail of the wire over the pliers nose.
Step 13. Twist the tail of wire around the top of the bead. It is easier to hold the end of wire with your fingers than a pair of pliers. Gently pull the end of the wire around and around the top of the bead forming a bead cap.
Step 14. When you are happy with the coiled bead cap, take the end of the wire down and around the outside of the bead. Finally wrap around the first loop formed in Step 12.
Step 15. Trim the end of the wire so it just coils neatly around the loop.
