Step 1. Cut a length of wire, the length depends on what you are making, or take a pre-made ear wire and line it up with the indicator line.

Step 2. Bend the wire as shown. Skip this step if using a pre-made ear wire.

Step 3. Make the eye using the winder, twisting in a clockwise direction.

Step 4. If you are adding beads, place the beads on your wire, then you will need to use the opposite side of the tool. Place your beads next to the tool, and cut the wire at the indicator line.

Step 5. Make the eye using the winder twisting clockwise.

Step 6. To offset the eye, give it a little tweak again the stationary dowel. Pull the link off of the dowel and using round nosed pliers finish closing the eye.

To make a wrapped eye, cut a very long length of wire. Place it on the tool as shown with your eye choice. You may have to bend the wire over the other stationary dowels.

Make the eye using the winder like before, letting the extra wire overlap.

Move the dowel and eye to the opposite side, the bead side. Turn the eye over so that the overlapping wire is on the bottom. Then you can wrap your wire around. You can also take the eye off of the tool and using chain nosed pliers hold the eye and wrap the wire. Add beads, then repeat with the other side.

 
Bead Link and Wrapped Eye Samples

These are little "S" links. You can use the same size dowel or mix 2 together to get different sizes. You can also adjust where the ends meet for different looks.

A simple bead chain made with 6mm beads. This was very easy to make and took no time at all.
