Heres a link to a site selling them but this is the one I want to make.

The principle looks simple but one question I have is how to form the rings into perfect circles.
I dont have the shaping equipment. Any suggestions how to form the rings without kinking using a basic forming method??
I intend to make a rather large one (maybe 24" diameter) which I intend to give to my local community eden project as a gift for their communal garden.
Thanks in advance,
