Make a pretty ring any size you want!
I have big fingers (like size 9 or bigger) and I can never buy store bought rings of any kind. I had shrink plastic leftover from a previous project and used it (pre-shrunk) as the back bone. You could experiment with different kinds of plastic. This is cheap and can be made to fit any finger!

  • How to make a bow ring. Ribbon Ring - Step 1
    Step 1

    Measure your finger buy using a thin strip of paper. Make sure you leave a little room for overlap and leave it a little loose because the ribbon lining will take up some room. I cut off what I thought was right, and then kept tweaking the measurement using the paper strip.

    Cut a strip of plastic that is as long as your paper measurement and as wide as (or maybe a tiny bit more narrow) the ribbon.

    Cut two pieces of ribbon the length of the ring. Using the glue gun, line the inside of the ring. I recommend gluing as you go. Line the outside of the ring with the other piece of ribbon.
