What you need: Wire cutters Flat nose Pliers - just to help with the final piece around the nail A Nail - or anything that is the size of the Jump Rings you want to make A length of wire - I use 0.8mm Silver plated Copper here
Step 1: Wrap the wire around the nail until all the wire is used up. Wrap it as tightly together as possible as gaps result in oval and mis-shapen rings.
Step 2: Remove the coil from the nail.
Step 3: Starting at one end of the coil you need to cut where the wire is just meeting the next coil so when you cut here you will have a full ring that will be slightly open.
Step 4: Now you can use your jump rings you just open them further or close them up.
