A: Take your round-nose pliers, and while holding the memory wire with your flat-nose pliers, twist the end into a small loop. You can also finish the end with a bead end. These require glue, and once glue is applied, hold the bead end on the wire until the glue dries, or it will not hold the seal. To cut your memory wire it is best to use a memory wire shear which you can purchase on our web site under the Tools and Supplies section. If you don't have a memory wire shear, it is best not to use a jewelry cutter, but something heavier from a hardware store.
