How to finish an endless beading hoop

Beading hoops can be used in a variety of ways. They are most popularly used in earrings or wine glass charms. Visit the Learning Center’s Ideas section for inspiration.

	STEP 1 With chain nose pliers grip the unfinished side of the hoop about 3mm from the end.
	STEP 2 Slide the beads or charms you are using on to the hoop. If you are making an earring make sure they are facing in the direction you want them to. Bend the wire in an upwards direction to a 90 degree angle.
	STEP 3 Close by inserting the wire into the hole in the flattened end of the wire.
