How to Bend Headpins

By Society & Culture & Entertainment Last updated Thursday, July/11/2024

1). Grasp the headpin with the pliers at the location where you would like the bend. Be sure your pliers are horizontal and not vertical.
2). Push the wire at a 90 degree angle with a finger from your free hand. Then you've made a simple 90 degree bend.
3). Add beads to the headpin before bending, make your bend, turn your pliers so they're vertical and push the wire, rounding the wire into a loop. Remove the pliers from the loop and grasp the loop with them. Using a pair of flat nose pliers, grasp the end of the wire and wrap it around the "neck" of the loop you just made. Cut at the end and tuck the end into the wrap.
