Description

This week I'm making a set of knuckle rings for my favourite rapping rockstar, Princess Superstar in Crafter To The Stars. Princess Superstar has been inspiring me since we started playing her records as students and I've been lucky enough to interview her for Snippets and have a singing lesson from her since. I was super excited to get the chance to craft for her and even more excited to see her rocking these knuckle rings on the red carpet!

Instructions

  1. Small img 5315

    Start by tracing around your logo on to pieces of paper. Trace the individual letters on to a piece of paper and then draw an outline by tracing around the letters leaving a small margin. The trickiest part of this project is getting the scale of your rings just right - remember you want your templates to be 7x the finished size of the ring. P.S. using your computer screen as a light box works great!

    Place some blue-tack on to the back of the margin and stick down on to white shrink plastic.
