How to make jump rings

These little fellas are really helpful. They make a perfect hook and eye clasp when used with an S hook. They can also be used to make chains, chain maille, or dangling things. :)

Your materials:

• Wire
  
• Wire cutters
• Crochet or knitting needles (to get exact measurements). Round pens can also be used.

Step One

Wrap the wire in a tight coil around the needle or pencil.

Step Two 

Take the coil off of the needle and cut out individual rings.

To open the jump rings, pinch the ring in a pair of needlenose pliers and gently pull. To shut, gently pinch pliers around the ring.


Tah-dah!!! Alot easier than it looks!
