Wire Wrap Technique

Step 1: Grab the middle of a 3" piece of wire with the tip of your round nose pliers. Push one end down to a 90 degree angle until it forms an "L" shape. Step 5: Take the pliers out of the loop that you just made and grip it sideways with chain nose pliers. (For a Basic Wire Loop, cut tail on the inside of the loop at this point.)
Step 2: Wrap the wire over the top of the plier jaw. Step 6: Take the tail of the wire and wrap it around the base wire two or three times.
Step 3: Take the loop off the top jaw of the pliers and reposition snugly onto the lower jaw. Step 7: Cut off the excess wire and tuck any edges of the wire that stick out close to the base wire.
Step 4: Pull the tail of the wire completely around the nose of the pliers to form a loop.
