I know this comes as second nature to some of you. However I remember when I struggled on how to get the jump ring to close perfectly. This is just a quick refresher post on how to open and close jump rings.
Pick up the jump ring with the opening at the top.
Using a pair of chain nose pliers in each hand, grip the jump ring between 2 and 3 o’clock on the right hand side and between 9 and 10 o’clock on the left.
To open the jump ring, move one hand towards you and the other away from you (as if you were opening a door). Add your component. Then repeat in reverse to close the jump ring.
