Instructions for Making Connectors into Bails:
Step 1: Hold your connector, firmly grip the center of the connector with your bail making pliers. The back side should face the smaller barrel.
Step 2: Curve your connector first, bend one end of the connector along the curve of the smaller barrel, then repeat on the opposite end.
Step 3: Finish the bail.
- Use the bail making pliers to round out any awkward bends by gently crimping down while following the curve of the bail.
- Use chain nose pliers to align the holes on each end of the bail.
- Loop a jump ring through both holes, then attach a pendant and close the jump ring.
