    Place the jumpring tool on the index finger of your non-dominant hand.
    Step 2
    Find the slot on the jumpring tool that your jumpring fits into.
    Step 3
    Place the jumpring into the slot, positioned so the opening of the jumpring is just above the opening of the slot.
    Step 4
    Grasp the jumpring with your dominant hand or with pliers and twist the jumpring open. Spread the legs sideways, not apart.
    Step 5
    Add the jumpring to your project then close the jumpring by repeating the steps above in reverse.
