DIY Clay Rings!

IMG_3529.jpg

Hi everyone! Today I will be talking you though how I made these cute trendy clay rings. I made these a few weeks ago and have loved wearing them as a statement piece with some of my outfits. This craft is a little more expensive since you do need to purchase you choice of clay and glaze. It also takes a longer and is a bit more challenging due to the shaping. I hope you enjoy!

Supplies

  • Clay
  • Glaze
  • Oven
  • Pan
  • Parchment Paper
  • Ring Size Cylinder
  • String
  • Tape

Smile Ring

  1. For this ring I started with a ball of yellow clay.
  2. I rolled this ball into a thin snake and flattened it so the ring would be flat and a little thick.
  3. I then got cylinder the size I wanted my ring to be. You can find the right size by taking a ring you already have and finding a cylinder you can put it over without having much room to move. I used chapstick.
  4. Then, I wrapped a piece of parchment paper around the cylinder so it wouldn't get ruined by the clay and taped it down.
  5. I wrapped my flattened snake around the cylinder and smoothed the ends together.
  6. I then made a little ball out of my yellow clay and flattened it slightly. I shaped it so it would look like a Smartie.
  7. This circle will be my face so I took it and blended it onto the ring around my cylinder.
  8. After I blended it, I drew in the smiley face I wanted.
  9. I carefully removed the ring from the cylinder and placed it on a tray on top of some parchment paper.
  10. I baked this in the oven for the determined time said on the packaging.
  11. After it was baked I hung it from string and glazed it on all sides.

Abstract Ring

  1. For this ring I started with a ball of pink clay.
  2. I rolled this ball into a thin snake and flattened it so the ring would be flat and a little thick.
  3. After flattening it, I used a plastic straw to cut circles into the flattened snake.
  4. Then I smoothed out the edges so the ring appeared more circular.
  5. I then got cylinder the size I wanted my ring to be. You can find the right size by taking a ring you already have and finding a cylinder you can put it over without having much room to move. I used chapstick.
  6. Then, I wrapped a piece of parchment paper around the cylinder so it wouldn't get ruined by the clay and taped it down.

  1. For this ring I started with a ball of white clay.
  2. I rolled this ball into a really thin snake and barely flattened it so the ring would be box like.
  3. I then got cylinder the size I wanted my ring to be. You can find the right size by taking a ring you already have and finding a cylinder you can put it over without having much room to move. I used chapstick.
