  • How to make a hardware ring. Hardware To Bling - Step 1
    Step 1

    find a compression sleeve at the hardware that fits on the figure that you want to wear it on. a little note: these are very malleable, so please take the ring off when you are working.
    rough it up a bit on the inside using sandpaper or the tip of a pair of scissors. it will help the paint stick.
