  Step 1

  Remove the top rim from any kind of small plastic bottle. The softer the plastic, the better and easier to cut. (You can also use the bottom part of a plastic toy bowling pin, as I did in the green example.)

• 

  Step 2

  Make a whole bunch of parallel diagonal cuts, forming skinny strips that swirl around the bottle.

• 

  Step 3

  Twist each strip tightly around something like a metal poker.

• 

  Step 4

  The strip will curl up. Do this for all the strips, and voila! That is your flame.

• 

  Step 5

  Cut a piece of craft wire (between 8 and 12 inches long, depending on the height of your ring). Fold it in half and thread the two ends up through a ring blank.

• 

  Step 6

  Poke 2 holes in the bottom of your flame, and thread the flame onto the wire.

• 

  Step 7

  Twist the two wire ends together inside the flame.

• 

  Step 8

  Swirl the two wires around something skinny, to create decorative swirlies inside the flame.

• 

  Step 9

  Optional: you can dress the ring up further by adding a filigree or a silk flower onto the ring blank, before you add the flame.

• 

  Step 10

  You can also double up on the wire, to create 4 swirlies inside the flame. If you like, you can add beads onto the tips of the swirlies for even more detail.
