Rings Galore

If you love rings like I do then you know I have to show you these and you are so going to want to make them as well.

I have mentioned before that my creations evolve from a variety of techniques and materials.  Well here are some to hopefully get your creative juices going to make  your own.  If you have your ring bases (silver plated and/or gold plated of which I have purchased through Amazon.com) and your buttons or beads or you have fabric at hand to use your button covers  then you are all set.

These here are from beads I found on clearance at Michaels (the turquoise bead) and one is a button I found that belonged to a winter coat which I no longer had (you know the spare button you get in clothing just in case you lose one of the buttons) and the other is from leftover fabric.

Now for the turquoise bead I had to file down the two round hooks that were in the back to get it to be flat.  Get yourself a really good jewelry bonding glue (E6000) which you can pretty much get a Joann's, AC Moore or Michaels.  You don't need a lot of this glue trust me it's very good glue and it will adhere your ring base to your earring.

For the leftover fabric ring make sure you cut your fabric in a circle (the  button covers comes with a card board to guide you in cutting the fabric) and once you have covered the cover you glue it to the base.

The one that is a button I did have to file down as well the round hook in the back where you would normally sew your button to the fabric.  And then use the glue to secure it to the ring base.
I am telling you will love making these and their uniquely yours…no one else has them!!!
