-make the paper clip straight using the pliers.
-bend the paper clip 1/3 of the way down
-bend the small portion down and the long one up. it will look like a "Y"
-bend the long part down so it is the same length as the other arm
-bend it down at the same point you did to the smaller side
-grab the 2 ends of the paper clip with the pliers and twist it
