Hello everyone! Today I will be teaching you how to make a cute simple wire ring. This project is very cheep considering you only have to purchase the wire you would like to use and takes less than 10 minutes.

Supplies

• 18 Gauge Wire
• Cylinder the size you want your ring to be
• Wire Cutters
• Needle Nose Pliers

Cut Wire!

Using your wire cutters, cut off a few inches of your wire.

Bend Wire!

Take your cylinder and bend your wire, that you had just perviously cut, all the way around the cylinder.

Shape!

Shape your ring to the correct shape and fit you want it to be. Do this by taking your needle nose pliers and rounding off the edges of your wire, so you make a perfect circle. If your wire is too long, which in most cases is, take your wire cutters and cut the wire so it is no longer overlapping.

Wear!

You’re all done! If the edges of your wire are sharp feel free to use a nail file and smooth them out.

The shapes and styles of your rings are endless. Next time try bending your wire in a squiggly pattern before you bend it around your cylinder. This will make a cool and different style of ring.
