I was curious, do you have any tips or techniques to make the perfect loop? All of my wrap loops are crooked and one doesn't look remotely similar to the other. Same with looping headpins... any ideas??? Thanks for your truly wonderful site! I was curious, do you have any tips or techniques to make the perfect loop?

Hmmm the perfect loop? Do as many loops as you can one after the other, you will get into the habit of reproducing them in the same way! I found charm bracelets are an excellent learning curve for this. Make sure you are using round nose pliers and turn the loop at the same place on the shaft of your pliers, this way the loop will always be about the same size as one another (for example half way up the plier's shaft) and finally don't be afraid to re-adjust your loops with flat nose pliers to straighten them out, wire is nice and robust. Many Thanks Amanda!

Your help would be so helpful, thanks in advance.
