People generally consider owl as symbols of wisdom and knowledge. The owl is a creature of the night. Owl meaning deals a lot about uncovering secrets and discovering hidden knowledge. Symbolically, this speaks to us about maneuvering through the unknowns of life, exploring hidden wisdom for insight, and moving forward – even if the situations are dark or unclear.

How To Make A Wire Wrapped Loop

Step 1: Use Chain Nose or Flat Nose pliers to form a right angle bend 1” from the end of the wire.

Step 2: Use Round Nose pliers to hold the wire just after the bend. Roll the pliers toward the bend and stop at the bend. Do not roll past it.

Step 3: Use your fingers to wrap the wire the rest of the way around the nose of the pliers.

Step 4: Use Chain Nose or Flat Nose pliers to wrap the tail end of the wire tightly down the main section of wire. Trim excess wire.
