I use a similar method. I dont have a pair of round nose so I clamp a drill bit in a vice and form the tail loop around the bit. I then use reg needlenose pliers to make the wraps. I can only go a half a turn before having to flip the plug on the drill bit but they come out pretty good.

I'm not great at them, but I just bend to 45 degrees, grab with round nosed pliers at the bend, and wrap the wire around the pliers. Use the search and I think you'll find plenty on this.
