1. Start by using a few inches of wire, to make a coiled wire head pin. Simply make a loop on the end of the wire using round-nosed pliers, and then with nylon-nosed pliers, continue to curl the loop into a coil. With chain-nosed pliers, bend the top of the head pin so that it is straight up and down as pictured.
