1. Start about 1� inches from the end of the wire, turning the long piece of the wire to the front of the pliers; make a loop {one complete circle} This will be the top.
2. Working on the long piece of the wire; holding it with your hands (not the pliers) pull up a little to form the bottom part of the �C� (see picture #1)
3. Grasp the wire at the bottom of the �C' and turn the wire to the left and to the right to make a lower loop ) be sure the wire ends on the back of the �C�. (see picture #2 and #3)
4. Leave the pliers there, and pull the wire up; to make the �i�
5. Grasp it about the middle of the 'C' and bend it to the back, pinch a little.

7. Grasp it even with the �i� and bend it down and to the right
8. Grasp it even with the bottom and bend it to the back and up.
9. Grasp the two wires from the back and bend to the right and down (making the hump for the �n�)
10. Grasp at the bottom bring it up and to the right
11. Grasp a little higher than the �n� bend to the back and down (looks like a taller �i� ) (see picture #4)

19. Congratulations you finish the name. Now, take the end; grasp it a little higher than the tip of the �C� (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!!!
