To create the loop at the end of your memory wire design, use a pair of Beadalon Round Nose Pliers.

Step-by-Step Instructions

	1. Place the end of the Memory Wire between the tips of the Round Nose Pliers.
	2. With one movement of the pliers, carefully bend the wire backwards, going against the wire's natural curve for an outside loop. For an inside loop, bend the wire into its natural curve.
	3. Once you've beaded the wire, repeat the previous step at the other end, forming a loop at the opposite end. Dangle a bead or charm from the loop for a playful look that adds movement.

HOW TO USE MEMORY WIRE END CAPS

Finish off Remembrance Memory Wire designs with End Caps for a professional, polished finish. End Caps are open on one side and are available in a variety of shapes in either silver or gold plate, a perfect complement for any Remembrance and Plated Steel Memory Wire design.

Add a drop of Beadalon BeadFix adhesive to the end of the Memory Wire. 2. Carefully slide an End Cap onto the wire so that it adheres to the wire. 3. Add another drop of BeadFix adhesive to where the End Cap meets the wire. 4. Slide the first bead of your design flush against the End Cap until they are glued together. Add the remaining beads and repeat the above steps on the other end of the wire. Allow 24 hours of drying time for maximum bonding
