How to Make a Head Pin Out of Wire
Lightening Head Pin
Bends at one end of the wire and a few pounds of the hammer makes this fun head pin.
You'll need these supplies:
- 21 gauge wire
You'll need these tools:
- wire cutters; flush cutters
- Hammer
- Flat nose pliers
- Chain or bent nose pliers
- Anvil or steel plate
-
1.) Do two at a time to match them up. Go up the end 1-inch with your flat nose pliers. Bend one direction, then come down about 1/4 of an inch and bend the other direction. Make 4 bends as seen in the picture.
2.) Pound the ends flat.
3.) Snip the very end straight with your flush cutters.
