[Nfb-krafters-korner] Saftey pin beading question

[Theresa Taylor]

I put a loop at the end of the wire or sometimes a clamp if the loop would 
get in the way for a smaller projedt like an ornament. You want to make sure 
you twist the wires towards the middle and then cut with actual wire cutters 
and it helps to give a more tapered cut. Sometimes if I am working on a 
small project and a wire is pesky....I will put clear nail polish on it.
The projects we have done thus far...are fairly easy to twist and hide 
wires.
HOpe this helps!
Theresa
