They don't have to be round. Tin snips will easily create little square ones.

I build bird's nest structure just above the copperclad, using decoupling capacitors as supports. If stuck for a support, it's worth having a bandolier of high value resistors near the bench.

This technique works with SMT parts if you have a microscope, a steady hand and use single strands of wire taken from a stripped length of stranded stuff.
