Perfectly Uniform Loops

One of the hardest skills for a jewelry designer to learn is making their loops uniform in size. An easy trick is to place an 8mm bead on the end of your head pin or wire and snip right at the top of the bead. In five easy steps you can make perfectly uniform loops every time:
  1. Place beads on head pin.
  2. Place an 8mm bead on the end of the head pin.
  3. Snip off the excess wire just above the 8mm bead.
  4. Remove the 8mm bead. What is left is just the right amount of wire to make a loop.
  5. Using your round nose pliers make your loop as you normally would.
If you like your loops larger you can use a larger size bead. I personally prefer 10mm beads to the 8mm.
