Picture Yourself Making Jewelry and Beading

(Wang) #1
9.Use the ruler to measure and mark^5 ⁄ 16 ”
above the top of the bead on the head pin.
Use the wire cutters or tin snips to cut the
head pin wire where you marked.

10.Using the chain nose pliers, bend the head
pin wire next to the top bead at a right
angle.


11.Hold the head pin with the bead on it in one
hand with the wire that you bent pointing
toward you. Use the round nose pliers to grip
the end of the head pin that is pointing
toward you and roll it away from you.
Release the pliers from the head pin. At this
point, the opening in the loop at the top of
the head pin wire should be large enough to
slip onto the loop of the memory wire. After
adding the memory wire loop through the
head pin loop, use the round nose pliers to
grasp the loop of the head pin wire and roll
it closed.

12.Repeat Steps 8 through 11 until you have all
six of the beaded head pins added to the
curved memory wire.
