16.With two pairs of chain nose pliers pointing
up, hold the jump ring with the opening at
the top. Roll one of your wrists away from
you and your other wrist toward you, open-
ing the jump ring only as much as necessary.
To close the jump ring, hold it the same way
and roll your wrists in the opposite direction.
Never pull the jump ring ends out; this will
weaken the metal, and it will be difficult to
close the jump ring.
17.Using two pairs of chain nose pliers, open a
jump ring and attach the disc to one end of
the copper wire. Repeat this with the other
disc and copper wire.
18.Use chain nose pliers to gently open the loop
at the bottom of the ear wire and add the
other end of the copper wire. Close the ear
wire loop. Repeat with the second earring.
