What you will need is:
#18 Solid Core Copper Wire
Anything to wrap your wire around (preferably a 1/4" bolt).
Scissors & Wire Strippers
That's All!
Cut About 10" of Wire
Measure 10 inches of wire, and cut it.
Strip the Wire

Get your wire strippers and remove all insulation.
Wrap the Wire Around Your Object of Choice

I used a 1/4" bolt but pretty much any round object will work.
Now, Trim the Ends and Slide or Screw It Off
