Instructions

  1. Small 2017 11 24 154201 bumble%2bbee%2bring%2b2

    Separate three to four rounds of memory wire and cut in line with the end of the wire. Using the smallest part of the Memory Wire Finishing Pliers, form a loop at one of the ends of the memory wire. I HIGHLY recommend using the Memory Wire Finishing Pliers over regular Round Nose Pliers.

  2. Small 2017 11 24 154213 bumble%2bbee%2bring%2b3

    Bead your wire in any pattern or solid color of your choice. I used TOHO Galvanized Silver, Starlight Galvanized Gold and Hematite for my Bee ring. Bead up until you have about a 1/4 of an inch of wire left and form your end loop the same as you did your beginning loop.

  3. Small 2017 11 24 154248 bumble%2bbee%2bring%2b4

    Attach your charm with the clip onto either one or both of the loops. If you want a more adjustable ring, clip the charm on only one of the loops.
