Description

Instructions

  1. Small materials

    All you really need to do this is a paper clip. Any paper clip will do. But it goes much faster if you have a pair of pliers. Adding beads is optional (some days I feel like beads...some days I don't)

  2. Small step 1

    Unbend the paper clip.

  3. Small step 2

    Carefully bend over the very tip of the paper clip and add a bead if you like.

  4. Small step 3

    Bend the paper clip at about a 90° angle. Be careful if using pliers to bend the paper clip. It's very easy to leave scratch marks or scrape off the coating.

  5. Small step 4

    Bend loops in a figure 8 pattern under the bead.

  6. Small step 5

    Here's what the first 2 loops look like from the bottom.

  7. Small step 6

    Keep adding loops in this manner until you have 4 or 5 loops.

  8. Small step 7

    Final steps: ~Squish the loops all down together by pressing from the top down on to a hard surface like a table or the floor. ~Bend over the other tip of the paper clip. ~Form into a circle to fit around your finger.
