How do you put a slip ring commutator in a homemade simple DC motor?

I’m making a DC motor with a rotating armature of copper wire, my own constructed electromagnets, DC batteries, and brushes, but apparently I also need a commutator. I have a vague idea of what these are, but have no idea how to put one in my motor, or where to find one or how to create one for that matter.

You don’t need slip rings; you need a commutator, which consists of segments that switch the rotor current flow as it turns. Make one out of a cork forced onto the axle, with coils of bare copper wire threaded through small holes in the cork. Brushes to feed the commutator can be made out of spring brass or other metal.
