Making a Double Ended Wrapped Eye Loop

Making a Double Ended Wrapped Eye Loop

This technique is useful when you want to connect two or more beads together. You can use 26-20Ga wire for this technique.

Step 1:

Take an 8-inch length to wire. At 2-inches from one end make a right-angled bend in the wire with chain nose pliers.

Step 2:

Create a simple loop in the shorter part of the wire, next to the bend. Grasp the loop with chain nose pliers and wrap the short end of the wire back down the longer length beneath the loop, however many times you need depending on the length of connector you are creating.

Step 3:

Trim away any excess wrapping wire with nippers. Use the chain nose pliers to squeeze the cut end flush against the straight stem wire. Thread on a bead, grasp the wire above the bead with chain nose pliers, and bend the wire above the pliers 90 degrees.

Step 4:

Grip the wire just above the bend with round nose pliers and make a wrapped loop, wrapping the wire back down toward the bead. Trim away any excess wire and use chain nose pliers to squeeze the cut end flush against the stem.
