During the Fall month's I came across a project that required an unusually large amount of jump rings. At the time I got out my stash and realized I didn't have enough. I was going to totally scrap the project when a beading friend suggested I make my own jump rings.
At the time I didn't even consider this was a thing I could do on my own. She directed me to go into http://www.auntiesbeads.com/ and there I found it....Beadsmith's EZ Jump Rings maker!
After buying this tool, I can honestly say I have never bought another jump ring. You basically just need 20 gauge wire, the tool itself, wire cutters and a little know how ( see video below ) and you can make your own jump rings! The set I bought makes jump rings sizes 4mm-8mm, but they do have a set that makes jump rings sizes 10mm-16mm.
Once you choose the size jump ring mandrel you need, you just need to learn how to coil the wire and then you cut them off to make perfect jump rings.
Follow the video below, by Auntie's Beads, and you will be making your own jump rings in no time!
