A method of forming an external electrode of an electronic component involves a paste preparation step, a removal step, an element preparation step, a contact step, and a formation step. The first step is to prepare a jig with a groove into which an element forming the electronic component can be inserted. The groove of the jig includes at least a first wall surface inclined outward in a direction from an interior toward an aperture. The paste preparation step is to fill a conductive paste in the groove. The removal step is to remove the filled conductive paste so as to leave the conductive paste along the first wall surface and remove the rest. The ealement preparation step is to locate the element immediately above the groove. The contact step is to insert the element into the groove and to move the element toward the first wall surface to bring a ridgeline of the element into contact with the first wall surface. The formation step is to move the element along the first wall surface and toward the aperture in a state in which the ridgeline of the element is kept in contact with the first wall surface, and to move the element away from the first wall surface so as to separate the ridgeline from the first wall surface.
