There are some cool tools out there.

This may work for you.

Anything round that you have around the house can be used. I've found the shanks on drill bits to be wonderful forming tools. The real key is to make sure you anneal the PE part first. This will soften the metal and remove the natural "springiness", making it easier to work with.
