How To: Make a simple wire loop

Where making jewelry, there are a lot of times that you will have to make a simple wire loop. This is how to do it. Cut a piece of jewelry wire 3 inches long. Slide a bead onto this wire. At the end, close to the bead, leave approximately 1/4 of an inch of wire. Bend the short wire at a 90 degree angle. Holding the wire under the bead with your index finger and your thumb, take your long nose pliers and bend the wire toward the bead until the loop is closed. Do the same process on the other end. You can make a lot of these and attach them to each other. Place a clasp on the end and you have a nice beaded bracelet.
