Maybe if this is your first time working with wire, get a cheap hoop of craft wire, 20 gauge. It's easiest to bend and work and gives you some confidence. I break out the 20 gauge whenever I try something new, just to practice. When you are using tapered round nose pliers, mark your spot for your turn with a sharpie pen. That way, you will be sure to use the same spot and have the same size bend for your next loop. The sharpie pen is not permanent and makes getting those loops even a lot easier. You did fine for a first try. I know you can do that little leaf!
