The best way to create a loop is with a perfect pair of forming pliers. Forming pliers have one round, tapered jaw and one flat, tapered jaw. These pliers will allow you to make a loop without getting a “dent” on the outside of the wire. Never use round pliers as they will leave a dent in the wire.
Add color and creativity to your decals by using Thompson Enamel Marking Crayons and China paints.
