Traditionally, a jegi is made by taking a coin with a hole through the middle, and a sheet of hanji paper.
The paper is folded in half, the coin is placed in the middle of the folded paper, and the paper is folded several times again with the coin still inside the paper.
A sharp object is then used to pierce a hole through the paper, also passing through the hole in the coin.
Each end of the folded paper is then inserted into the hole, and the ends of the paper are unfolded and torn into strands.

A simpler method is to place a small pile or two or three coins in the centre of a 25 cm square cut from a plastic bag or tissue paper.
The paper is bunched around the coins, and the coins are tied in place with string or a rubber band.
The loose part of the bag or paper is then cut into strands.

The most important factor of good jegi is its weight, which should be around 10 grams (0.35 oz).
If it is too light, it is very hard to control jegi since it falls to the ground before the next kick is ready.
However, if it is too heavy, it is hard to kick the jegi high enough.
