How To Attach (Open and Close) a Jump Ring

One skill that I cover in my polymer clay workshops is how to open and close jump rings.

This video on YouTube is an excellent tutorial. You want to make sure you are twisting the jump ring open and closed and not pulling it apart to open or smushing it to close.

Let me know - did you find this helpful? This was a skill I had to learn when I was first starting out and I use it all the time connecting pieces together.

I used a jump ring to connect the polymer clay piece to the gem above.
