How to Make a Simple Loop Bead Link
1.Slide bead(s) onto a eyepin or a piece of wire that you have choosen to work with. The lenght can be determined by the size and or the number of beads your going to use, leaving approximately 1/4-inch of wire.
2.Using your chain nose pliers, bend the wire to form a right angle as close to the bead as possible.
3 Find the area that is approximately 1/8-inch away from the end. Depending on how fine or thick of a point your round nose have, you might need to adjust the distance in order to achieve the same size loop.
4. Grab the very end of the wire at a point approximately 1/8-inch down from the tip of your round nose pliers.
5. Roll the wire around the tip of the round nose pliers to form a complete circle centered over the wire stem.
6. To open or close a loop, using your chain nose pliers, gently lift the loop up from the closed side making a small space to insert your next loop. Do Not pull the loop straight out or the round shape will be distorted.
7. Insert another loop or jump ring. Close the loop back to its closed position using your chain nose pliers. To make sure the tip of the wire forms a secure loop, use your chain nose pliers and Gently squeeze the loop to ensure it is securely closed. This ensures the loops won't separate while you're wearing your design.
