This ring is adjustable and can fit most fingers, therefore it is fun to make for your family and friends. You can also scale it up with thicker gauges and more wires to create beautiful bangle designs!
This ring is adjustable and can fit most fingers, therefore it is fun to make for your family and friends. You can also scale it up with thicker gauges and more wires to create beautiful bangle designs!
Depending on the size of the ring, cut approximately 3 x 6”-7” lengths of 20-gauge wire.
Cut 3 short lengths (about 2.5”) of 26-gauge wire and use these to bind the centre and each side together, making sure the wires don't bunch up but stay one on top of each other.
Place the wires on your ring stick and wrap around to the correct ring size required. Remove from the ring stick once you have the ring diameter and separate the projecting wires, so that they fan out on each side.
Thread one of the wires with a bead and create a large loop at the end for your bead to sit in.
Wrap the rest of the wire around the bead until it meets the ring shank. Create spirals with all the other projecting wires, bringing them in towards the centre.
Place the ring back onto your ring stick and spend some time adjusting the spirals so that they sit together at the front and look aesthetically pleasing.
