Beading Blog - thebroadroom.net: Making your own jump rings
Making your own jump rings

This isn't that hard actually, I just did it tonight. I used the method here:
Making jump rings
There are other methods of doing it...of course they all involve the same basic "wrap your wire around a dowel" part, but I've seen a method where you take a "jewelry saw" and cut the whole spring into rings in one fell swoop. Highly attractive, but I don't own a jewelry saw (plus you need "jewelers' files" and I don't have those either).
Anyhow, it can be done with your flush-cutters in that method and it works quite well. Plus you can make the exact size of jump ring you need, with the right gauge/temper of wire.
