Instructions
Step 1
Straighten and cut a piece of 20 gauge wire, 2 1/2 inches (65mm) long.
Step 2
Hold the wire with tip of the round nose pliers 7/8 inches (20mm) away from one end and make a loop, so there is a 90 degree angle.

Step 3
Start making the second loop from another wire end, 1/8 inch away from the first loop.

Step 4
While making the second loop, make sure that both wire ends are on the same side. The distance between these loops has to be about 1/16 inch. Fold the both loops together, so the cross wire is outside. You may use two sets of pliers for folding.
