Hi and welcome! By reading this, you will learn how to make your own ring in 10 easy steps! But first, you will need to gather your supplies.

Supplies

You will need, scissors, pliers, 20g wire, beads, and a ring sizer. If you don't have a ring sizer, you can use anything round that is around the size of your finger.

For step 1, you need to cut around 8in of wire. Make sure your wire is straight and doesn't have any small bumps in it.

Step 2 is simple, all you need to do is pick out your favorite bead and place it on the wire. Make sure the bead is in the middle and is a size and shape you like.

For step 3, you will take the wire and wrap it three times around the ring sizer, or round object.

Take the wire off of the ring sizer and clamp it with your pliers so that it holds its shape.

For step 5, you will take the excess wire that didn't wrap around a fourth time and wrap it around the three wires like the pictures show.

Now, cut another piece of wire, around 6in long, and wrap it around the wires. Start about half way down from the bead on one side and wrap until you get to the bead.

Once you've wrapped one side of the wire, take the new wire and wrap it once fully around the bead until you get back to the side you have already wrapped.

In step 8, you will take the wire, and wrap it under the bead over to the other side of the wire where you have not wrapped yet. Now that you are on the other side of the bead, wrap the wire around the three wires until you get about half way down the wires.

Almost done! All you need to do to complete step 9 is cut off the extra wire.

The finial step is to make sure there are no sharp edges sticking out and pointing you. If there are, all you need to do is take your pliers and flatten the wires.

The Final Product!!!
