How do I use a Crescent Tool to make the loops in galvanized fence?

Does anyone remember how to use fence pliers? I had no problems cutting 6” or so off of the fence at the bottom to turn a 4’ x 6’ section into a 41” x 6’ section. But now I have to loop the crossed ends at the bottom since it want it like the top. I’m using the chainlink as fabric in a gate. I just cannot remember how to do it even though I did it 10 years ago. Each side of the fence pliers I show has a cutter and the top does not hold the wire tightly enough. Does the cutter part also act as a crimper? In other words, should I hold the wire with the cutter part just a little different than if I was cutting?

Any help appreciated. I know it’s an easy question.
