How to Create DIY Rings

Perfect for beginners.

The Materials you need to make the Rings are:

- One ring mandrel

- One plier

- Wire with a circumference of 0.9 mm

- Wire with a circumference of 0.5 mm or just a wire that is thinner than 0.9 mm

- 2 bigger beads in any color, in my case purple and yellow

- 4 smaller beads in white

- One wire cutter

If you don’t already know your ring size or the ring size of the person you are making the ring for, find that out. To measure your ring size at home you can wrap a string around the base of the intended finger, and then mark where the string overlaps. The length of the string you measured in centimetres is the circumference of your finger.

To make the base of your ring wrap the thicker or wire with a circumference of 0.9mm around your ring size on your ring mandrel and cut off the rest of the wire that you don’t need with a wire cutter

Then use your plier to off round the edges to make them look like a circle.

After, doing that your ring may not look round anymore to fix that just put your ring around the ring mandrel, when doing that also press down the ends you just rounded off so they don’t stick out anymore but would lay on your finger when you would wear it.

Next, take your thinner or wire with and circumference of about 0.5 mm and wrap that around your ring. Starting at around a quarter away from the loop, so where you rounded of the end, wrapping it toward the end of the ring where the loop is.

After, put the wire through the hole and put the beads on it, first the white smaller bead then the yellow or purple bigger bead, and then the other smaller white bead.

Then put the wire through the loop again and wrap it around the ring again as you did on the other side, till about a quarter away from the loop

Next, use your plier to press the ends of the thinner wire to the ring so they won’t hurt you when you are wearing the ring. If your ring is as deformed as mine was just put it on the ring mandrel again and press it down to make it rounder.

Now you are finished with your first ring. At last to the same thing with the rest of the beads, so either with the bigger yellow or bigger purple bead and the two smaller white beads.
