Step 4:

Step-Four

Place the index finger from the hand holding onto your wire spool at the bottom of the wire, pressing upward as you feed it onto the pliers.

Step 5:

Step-Five

Make sure the wire is feeding outwards towards your plier tip to remain consistent with your shape size.

Step 6:

Create as many rotations as desired based on the amount of jump rings you need.

Take the flush cutters and trim the wire from the spool when done.
