and today I'm going to show you how to make jump rings out of craft wire with these wubber
bail making pliers. And sometimes you can't quite find the
right jump ring that you want. You can't find that material or the right
gauge. So you can take craft wire and make
your own. Lots of ways to do this with different tools
that are made specifically for that but I found that these bail making pliers are really handy
because it just comes with two different diameter cylinders on the end of the
little pliers. It's really simple to do. Just cut a length of wire and then choose which size you have. These are three millimeters and a five millimeters. I want to go ahead and make the five
millimeters size jump rings. What you do is put the end of the wire between the ends of the pliers and hold that firmly. Bend it all the way around and then move it back towards you and bend it out. As you go around and meet up and make a little spiral. Hold it tight as you bend it
and let go and reorient it. And just keep going. You're gonna make a little coil of wire and how long you make the coils depends
on how many jump rings you wanna get out of this. So if you just need a few then just
wrapped it around a few times so you can see that you have more loops then you need jump rings. Then you take a pair of flush cutters and clip the excess off. and to make this coil into jump rings.
You're just gonna cut one layer at a time right next to the end on the next coil up. So where the little end is right
there where it sticks out you just put your flush cutters right up against that and you cut through the next coil. And that's an open jump ring. You can just keep going right
through the coil and you can make as many as you need for
your project like that. You can see that they're perfectly
uniform. They're all the same size. They're nice and round. It's a little easier
than just trying to use round nose pliers. It'll be much easier to get the same size on
all of them. And that is how you make jump rings with Wubbers Bail
