Step 1. Taking two pairs of pliers tightly clamp each pair either side of the opening of the jump ring.
Step 2. Push one side of the jump ring away from you and the other towards you making an opening in the ring.
Step 3. Add your finding/charm/chain etc and then close the jump ring by pulling one side of the ring towards you and the other side away closing the ring. Here's a little tip for you, gently push the sides of the ring together as you do this to ensure the ring is tightly closed.
Your homework for this week is to get practicing, buy yourself a bag of jump rings and get going, all the above projects are perfect to get practicing on.
