Step 3 Cut off finished charm

Short step, with two ways to do it. One way is to cut the wire along the 2nd wrap and then use the pliers to bend the tip around with the rest of the wire.

But what I like to do is over-wrap the wire, then back it off a little and snip along the curve, then I squeeze it back into place. This way there is a curve already in the snipped wire, and that seems easier to me.

I have a video of the 2nd method attached here.

This technique works best for me as well. It's a lot easier than cutting the wire at the beginning.
