Above the knuckle ring tutorial

Last night I couldn't get to sleep and was craving something crafty. 

I'm sure you've been seeing a lot of those mid-knuckle rings

I had some wire in one of my craft boxes for my art classes and figured I'd take a stab at making them and they are SO EASY!  

here's a mini tutorial...

What you'll need:

-soft 18 or 20 gauge wire. 

-pliers

-wire cutters

-chap stick (to make the rounded shape)

 

1) cut the wire about 3 inches long

2) wrap it around the chap stick

3) slide the wire off the chap stick

4) take the pliers and bend the ends toward the center

5) squish the wire together so it has a soft end (as seen in the picture above on the right)

6) do this to both ends

7) once the ends are bent down, use the pliers to gently turn them outward so they lay flat (as seen in the picture above on the right) 

8) slide the ring onto your finger and fit it to where you want it to stay

9) this is what it should look like from the front and back once it is finished
