pliers safety and safety loops  

Your safety is most important when you explore a new medium in creating art. 

To avoid getting poked or scratched by wire, be sure to: 

• Do safety loops on both ends. 

• Avoid doing wire art sitting close to someone else (watch where the wire goes).

• Use pliers safely and responsibly. The middle section is very sharp. 

Watch this video to learn how to use pliers safely. Then learn how to make tiny and tight safety loops.
