2. Leave �� or a little less and make another loop to the opposite side (picture #2)

3. Grasp wire under the loop and bend to the right (picture #3)

4. Grasp the wire on the bend (picture#4) and pull the wire to the left over the pliers pinch a little.

5. Grasp the wire at the other side of the �F� and bend over pliers to the back and to the right (picture # 5) (picture #6)

6. Grasp the wire at the bottom; bend it up to the back and to the right to form a the bottom loop of the �F� make it a little loose so it will look like (picture #7) and then make a full loose loop. (picture #8)

7. Grasp the wire even with the bottom of the �F� and bend up
(look at the finished name down below)
8. Grasp the wire even with the cross of the �F� and bend to the back pinch at the top
9. Grasp the wire at the top and bend to the right
10. Grasp the wire close to were you pinched and bring it down to form an �r�
11. Grasp the wire even with the bottom of the �r� and bring it up
12. For this step use the small round nose pliers Grasp trhe wire it even with the top of the �r� and bend it to the right leave pliers there, and pinch it with the needle nose pliers to make the dot of the �i� pinch it to make it look like only one wire (see finish name)

13. Grasp it even with the bottom of the �i� and bring it up
14. Grasp the wire even with the �i�and bend it to the right and down
15. Grasp at the bottom ; bring it up looks like an �o� , with the pliers inside the top of the �o� grasping the two wires together bend it to the right leave the pliers there and bring it up even with the right side of the �o� (picture #9)

Now, take the end; grasp it a little higher than the tip of the �D� (look at the picture for reference) and bend it up, fold it back and around the pliers twice, to form a double loop; then around the wire twice to finish it; cut the excess in the back. This is for the chain; do the same with the piece of wire that you left in the very beginning. Finish filing the ends and carefully crimp the ends. Polish it a little and Enjoy it!!!
