3. Wrap the wire under the
pliers bringing it back to
the left.
4. You will now have a loop
in the tip of the wire. Ad-
just the size of the loop to
fit the center of the flower,
making it larger than the
center hole, but small enough
3 that it doesn’t alter the
shape of the flower. 4
5. Place the wire loop in-
side the nose of the pliers.
Bend the remaining wire stem
straight down.
6. When bent, the stem will
have a flat top with a
straight base, similar to a
5 nail.
