When I teach jewelry making classes, I often find that the most difficult part of any project we make seems to be when my students use round-nose pliers to make the eye on a piece of wire or head pin. This seems to give people the most trouble. Keep in mind, as in any technique that you haven’t done before, practice makes perfect.
I don’t know how many times I’ve shown my students how to do it and then when they try it I hear, "It looked so easy when she did it." That’s because I’ve done it hundreds of times. Trust me; my first few attempts where very frustrating. In fact, I remember thinking, "I just paid $24 for these round nose pliers! I wasted my money." So, be patient and practice, practice, practice.
There are also a few different ways to make a simple loop, so I'm going to show you two different methods in this tutorial. I suggest trying them both, and then decide which you prefer.
