DIY Clay Rings!
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
- For this ring I started with a ball of yellow clay.
- I rolled this ball into a thin snake and flattened it so the ring would be flat and a little thick.
- 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.
- Then, I wrapped a piece of parchment paper around the cylinder so it wouldn't get ruined by the clay and taped it down.
- I wrapped my flattened snake around the cylinder and smoothed the ends together.
- 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.
- This circle will be my face so I took it and blended it onto the ring around my cylinder.
- After I blended it, I drew in the smiley face I wanted.
- I carefully removed the ring from the cylinder and placed it on a tray on top of some parchment paper.
- I baked this in the oven for the determined time said on the packaging.
- After it was baked I hung it from string and glazed it on all sides.
Chunky Ring
- For this ring I started with a ball of orange clay.
- I rolled this ball into a snake that was thinker towards the middle and thinner towards the end.
- 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.
- Then, I wrapped a piece of parchment paper around the cylinder so it wouldn't get ruined by the clay and taped it down.

Abstract Ring
- For this ring I started with a ball of pink clay.
- I rolled this ball into a thin snake and flattened it so the ring would be flat and a little thick.
- After flattening it, I used a plastic straw to cut circles into the flattened snake.
- Then I smoothed out the edges so the ring appeared more circular.
- 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.

Plain Ring
- For this ring I started with a ball of white clay.
- I rolled this ball into a really thin snake and barely flattened it so the ring would be box like.
- 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.
