This ring is SO easy to customize! Choose your favorite colors and go with it.

Instructions

  1. Put the fabric into the embroidery hoop.

  2. Small 111017 2f2015 09 13 192000 img 0371 600x458

    Trace the top of the ring base onto your cross stitch fabric. This will let you know the total area you will need to fill in for the ring.

  3. Small 111017 2f2015 09 13 192032 img 0372 600x400

    Start at one side of the circle and start creating a pattern from X’s. For my triangles I did 7 X’s on the bottom, then 5, 3, and 1 X at the top for each triangle. If the triangle is upside down, it is the reverse of that.

    Once you get the entire circle filled in with your pattern, cut it out leaving at least a 1/4 inch border of unstitched material.

  5. Small 111017 2f2015 09 13 192159 img 0384 600x487

    Fold the unstitched material under the pattern so that all you can see is the cross stitch.

    You will need to put the circle of fabric into the ring base to get the perfect fit. It will take some playing with to get it just right.

    Once you are satisfied with the look and fit of the circle of fabric, fill the ring base with glue.

  8. Set the circle of fabric into the ring base and press it in.

    Once your glue is dry, wear this bad boy!
