A Homemade Ring

A ring made completely from scratch with silver-plated wire on a ring stick. "Sew" on beads with silver-plated wire or put beads onto head pins, attaching them to the ring like little pendants. Use a ring made from scratch or one that is already shaped.


1

Measure the appropriate ring size using the ring sizer.


2

The size can be found on the ring stick.


3

Wrap the silver-plated wire tightly around the ring stick at the correct size number.


4

Let the two ends overlap and then wrap the ends around the ring. This now forms the bottom of the ring.


5

Use a new piece of silver-plated wire; wrap it along the top of the ring towards the middle and bend it straight upwards. Take another piece of silver-plated wire; wrap it along the top of the ring and towards the middle. Wrap the end around the piece which is bent upwards.


6

Put the bead onto the stalk.


7

Use the tip of round nose pliers to twist the wire forming a coil. Nip off the end.


Sew beads onto a ring


1

Fasten the wire to the sieve disc.


2

Thread the beads onto the wire 1 – 2 – 3 at a time whilst "sewing" up and down through the holes of the sieve disc – and around the ring.


Decorate a ring


1

Put small beads onto head pins and bend them a little to one side and cut off leaving approx. 1cm of the head pin.


2

Twist to form a loop (do not close it completely). Use round nose pliers.


3

Attach the loop from the headpin onto the loop on the ring. Now close it completely. Attach three pendants to each loop.
