-Grip the very end of the paper clip with the pliers

-Using the rest of the paper clip for leverage, bend the paper clip around the end of the pliers as tight as you can; until it is parallel with the end in the pliers

-Reposition the pliers about 1 to 1 1/2 cm farther on the paper clip

-Using the rest of the paper clip for leverage, bend the paper clip around the end of the pliers as tight as you can; until it is parallel with the part in the pliers
