Using flush-cutters, blunt cut the end of your wire.
STEP 2
Place the wire so it spans the width of the concave barrel.
STEP 3
Compress the handle of the pliers. The wire will conform to the shape of the barrel and start the loop.
STEP 4
Without releasing the wire from the pliers, and using your non-dominant hand, press the wire against the round-nose barrel to complete the loop.
STEP 5
Release the handle of the pliers and rotate the wire so the outside edge of the concave barrel is at the base of the loop--rotate your wrist about 15 degrees, positioning the loop on top of the straight length of wire.
