I have produced a lot
of crafts in the
past 15 years! I did not know you
could make your own rings. I discovered this
after
watching Deals on the Living Well Network. A lady
used buttons, small beads, and gems to make her own
rings. She said you can buy ring blanks! I was got excited
and became ready to make my own rings.
I searched online
and found a few craft supply companies had them in gold and
silver for reasonable prices. I bought
adjustable blanks
because they were a
lot cheaper. They came packs of 10 and
20. The crafts stores in my area only had
a few silver ring blanks.
Today’s week-end
craft is DIY fashion rings. You will need:
Ring blanks
Favorite buttons,
small bead, or rhinestone gems
Glue sticks and glue
gun
Pliers (optional)
Select the beads,
buttons, or gems you want to use for your design. If you use buttons must remove plastic piece from
the back with pliers. I suggest trying
a flower design for your first ring.
Apply glue to the pad of the ring blank. Quickly add your flower design on top of the glue. You
can adjust the design before the glue hardens. A
beginner make want to glue each bead or button one at a time. It depends on your skill level.
I have added some ring designs for your inspiration. There are also tips and links
to websites where the ring
blanks can be
purchased.
Here are images of the
