4. Instead of using the round-nosed pliers to hold the wire as you did in the previous step, now use nylon-nosed pliers to hold onto this area as you continue to wrap the longer wire around the shorter piece of wire.

5. As you wrap, you may need to move the nylon-nosed pliers down further on the eye pin to help ensure you get the wrapped coils as close as possible to each other. Take your time with this, and wrap each coil carefully so there are no gaps in between each wrap.

To finish, use wire cutters to trim off excess wire.
