Tip of the Month - Make Consistent Loops on Eye and Head Pins

I am loving my new One Step Loopers by Beadsmith, but if you don't have a pair here is any easy and cheap way to ensure you make consistently size loops on eye and head pins.

If you add an extra 8mm bead to the top of a stack of beads (or any other size bead depending on the size of the dangle or charm you are making), trim the headpin/eyepin to the top of that bead, then remove the bead and make your loop - your loops will always be the same size!

Thanks for the tip Fire Mountain Gems!

Now go bead something.
