How to create a simple loop:
First, string a bead onto a head pin.
Here we are using a ball-tipped head pin.
Place your thumb on top of the bead; pushing
against the pin, bend the pin back over your thumb.
This will create a right angle.
Trim the wire to about 6mm to 8mm
or a little over a 1/4 inch.
Place the wire back over your thumbnail;
grasp the wire in your 4-in-1 tool in the round-nose pliers,
in about the middle of your pliers
so that you cannot feel it on the other side.
With your thumb on top of your bead, against the pin,
holding it down, roll the wire away from you.
You may need to let go, but keep the pliers in and continue to roll.
This is your simple loop.
