Description

Jump rings are very handy when it comes to making wire jewelries. It doesn't take much time or cost much to make the perfect jump rings out of wire. Once you have all the necessary supplies you can make jump rings easily, even if you're not a pro!

Instructions

  1. Small 107950 2f2015 03 12 153524 20150309 152705

    Hold the wire from an end and make a loop with the help of the looping pliers. Make sure to coil the wire from the largest size of the looping pliers.

  2. Small 107950 2f2015 03 12 153335 20150309 152731

    Keep coiling the wire to make a chain of loops. Make sure to coil the wire downwards while the previous loops move upwards.

  3. Small 107950 2f2015 03 12 153635 20150309 152929

    Since the loops are moving upwards you will be coiling the wire around the same part of the pliers, thus creating loops of the same size (radius). Cut of the chain of loops once it reaches enough or required length.

  4. Small 107950 2f2015 03 12 153639 20150309 153000

    Slightly bend any one loop from the chain of loops (see this picture). You will need a complete circle (or loop) for each jump ring.

  5. Small 107950 2f2015 03 12 153645 20150309 153018

    Carefully cut off the loop with the help of the cutting pliers.

  6. Small 107950 2f2015 03 12 153806 20150309 153032

    There, you have a jump ring.

  7. Small 107950 2f2015 03 12 154409 20150309 153517

    Similarly cut off more loop to create more jump rings.
