Braided Rings

In this instructable I will show you how to make braided rings. I really like the look that braided things have, but when I was looking at braided rings all I could find were metal ones. Don't get me wrong, I like metal rings, but I think three colours combined into a braid look amazing. So I asked myself, can't I somehow make my own, coloured, cheap braided rings? The answer: of course!
I hope you like it!

To make these rings, you will need the following:

Yarn (you can use leftovers for this)
Glue
Scissors
Round object matching the size of your finger

Make sure the three threads start at the same length. Cut off a piece of all three of the colours, about 15 cm is more than enough for two rings. Repeat this two times, so you get nine threads. Align all nine to be able to make the longest braid possible with your yarn.

Knot the nine threads together. Divide the nine threads in three groups each containing three threads. Start braiding, but try to keep the three threads of one group next to each other as good as possible. 

To see if your braid is long enough, wrap it around your finger as shown in the picture. Don't make the braid too short, you will need an overlapping part later.

When you are almost out of yarn, make a knot.

Lay your braid flat at straight. Take your glue and glue the top of the braid completely. Allow it to dry.

When the glue has dried, take your round object and wrap the yarn around it. In the second picture is indicated where to cut it with my nail.

Now it is time to make a ring. Wrap the piece of braid you just cut off around the round object and glue the overlapping piece on the ring. Let the glue rest until it is almost dry. Then, carefully take the ring off of the round object. As you can see, there still is a small gap between the overlapping part and the ring. Add a bit of glue and press the overlapping part against the ring.
Small warning: remove your fingers before the glue starts to dry.

Make more rings! Just repeat step 7 and 8. 

So, that's it! Now you know how to make these rings.
