• Now, using a pen or pencil, make a mark at the intersection of one edge with the other.
• Cut off the excess paper and get the right size for the ring.

Important! You can simply measure the strip - this will be the size of the new ring. The same strip can be used as a template in order to measure the prepared materials.

Wire ring

Next, we will tell you how to make a ring with your own hands using wire. Wire is the most common material in making rings with your own hands. Remember how in childhood we twisted rosettes made of wire and wore them as the most expensive jewelry? Copper wire is reasonably accessible and durable, while being multifunctional.It can be used for any type of weaving: pigtail, heart and many other figures.

Important! If you do not have experience in weaving rings from wire, then first practice with simple elements, and then you can start creating a complex composition.

This is one of the easiest ways any needlewoman can handle. To make a wire ring you will need such materials and tools:

• An interesting button or natural stone.
• Soft wire.
• Nippers.
• Round pliers.
• A piece of cone-shaped tube.

Procedure for making a wire ring:

• First you need to fix the stone on the wire. If using a bead, then just thread the wire into it.

Important! The stone can be painted using a spray can. To do this, put a pebble on a piece of paper and point the spray gun at it. After complete drying, turn the stone over and work it on the other side in the same way.

• After - using wire cutters, bend the wire backward, attach it to a conical tube.
• Wrap the entire conical tube several times with wire.
• Next - tightly compress all the turns of the wire, and bend its ends up and down.
• We remove the finished workpiece with the tube and the ends of the wire, fix the turns on the sides of the central stone or beads.
• With the ends of the wire we wrap the entire ring, about 3-5 times.

Important! Make sure that the coils fit snugly against each other.

• At the end of the work, cut off the excess wire using round-nose pliers, fix all the connected turns to give a flat shape.

Important! Remember that aluminum breaks quickly, so if you took just such a wire, when creating turns of various shapes, you need to be extremely careful and attentive.

2. Through both ends of the pins, thread two thin elastic bands.
3. Now we take the next pin and put it on the elastic with the same method, only its head should look in the opposite direction.
4. Carrying out the same manipulations, we alternate the pins in turn until the desired circle is obtained.

Satin Ribbon Ring

Before starting work, it is necessary to prepare the following materials and tools:

• Satin ribbon of medium width.
• Thick wire for the base of the ring.
• Pliers.
• Scissors.
• Nippers.
• Needle with thread.
• Glue gun.
• Glue.

The following describes the step-by-step process for making a ring from a tape:

• First of all, we measure the necessary length of the wire, and cut off the excess with wire cutters.

Important! In order for the future ring to be strong enough, we recommend making a few turns with tape. You can multiply the girth of the finger by 3 and get the required length of the satin ribbon.

• Now just wrap your finger in wire using pliers. Thus, we get the foundation of the future ring.

Important! In this case, you can take a dimensional cone, as it is much faster and more convenient.

• We take a satin ribbon and with the help of a glue gun imperceptibly fasten to the edges of the wire. We begin to tape the entire ring with tape.

Important! It is necessary to make sure that the tape, when wrapping the circle, is snug enough to the wire.

• When the tape is wound around the ring, we cut off the excess material, and after that we fix the end with glue.
• Next, cut off a piece of tape, about 10-15 cm, and cauterize the ends with fire.

Important! In order to prevent the edges of the tape from raining, you can heat the scissors with fire before cutting.

• We form a bow from the ribbon, and fix the middle with stitches.
• Glue the bow to the base (where the end of the tape is glued).

Coin ring

You can make a ring from a coin, but this is a rather complicated and laborious process. For help, you can ask a person who has the skills to work on the processing of metal products.

In order to start making a ring with your own hands using a coin, you need to prepare the following materials:

• Drill.
• Fine sandpaper.
• Coin.
• A small piece of metal.
• Hammer.
• Soft fabric.
• Steel spoon.
• Emery roller.
• Polishing wheel.
• Clip for decoration.

Now let's get to work:

• At the first stage, we take a coin, put it on the edge and place it on a metal base.
• Press the base with a teaspoon.
• Then we do painstaking work. We take a hammer and knock on a teaspoon until the coin becomes flat.

Important! Constantly monitor the process of flattening a teaspoon. Try to hit the coin with the same force for the most even edge.

• Then with a drill we make a hole in the very center of the coin. When drilled through, the coin will be securely fastened.
• Now we grind the edge of the coin with sandpaper until the surface shines.
• Next, using a drill, increase the hole in the circle. We constantly change the drill for a larger one, until the necessary circle for the future product is obtained.

Important! When you form the size of the jewelry, constantly try on it so that in the end the ring does not turn out to be large.

• Using the emery roller, polish the inner surface of the ring.

Important! If desired, an engraving can be done on the ring, but for this you need to contact a specialist.

• Bright buttons.
• Superglue or glue gun.
• The basis for the ring.
• Pliers for jewelry.
• Scissors.

Getting started:

• Next, glue the buttons on a piece of felt according to the scheme: from the center - to the edge of the circle.

Important! Buttons must be darkly attached to the felt so that the result is a round shape.

• After the glue has completely dried, we cut off the excess felt from the sides with an even or zigzag line.
• Well coat the base with glue.
• We glue the previously made fabric with buttons on the base.

• Next, we string the beads onto the wire.

Important! Please note that 1 cm should remain at each end of the wire. The edges of the wire must be sealed with glue so that the beads do not crumble.

• Wrap a wire with beads around the finger or use a dimensional cone.We bend the remaining ends - we will need them later to fix the ring.
• Now we begin to manufacture the ring. We take the wire and cut three parts 2-3 cm long.
• Two beads are strung on each piece. We bend the ends of the wire so that the beads do not roll.
• After that, we bend all three parts in half, which forms a depression in the center, lay the beads at the ends of the wire.
• In the recess we place the previously prepared base by threading parts of the wire through it.

Important! Do not forget that the bent edges of the wire should be located only near the ring.

• Now bend the pieces of wire so that the beads are located tightly to each other.
• We twist all the ends of the wire so that the beads are on top.
• With the ends that were previously bent, we finally fix the ring.

Important! In the manufacture of a ring of beads, you can use various options: weaving in one or more rows, combine beads with other materials. Do not be afraid to experiment, and you will succeed!
