Description

We see rings more than any other item of jewellery we wear, when we typing, when we open a door and when we eat, so why not make this super sparkly ring to look at.

Instructions

  1. Small 107030 2f2015 01 22 191535 elastic%2bsparkly%2bring%2b8

    Thread all the beads onto a 20cm length of Stretch Magic elastic, with a crimp tube on each side. You may need to remove or add beads later to make it fit perfectly.

    Take the chaton montee (which is a sparkly stone in a metal setting with holes on the back) and turn it upside down so the metal setting is face up. This makes it easier to thread. Thread one end of the elastic through the top two holes right to left and the other end through the bottom two holes left to right.

    Take the elastic through the crimp tube and pull the two ends tightly. Check the size and remove/add beads to make the ring fit.

    Take your chainnose pliers and flatten the crimp tubes to secure the ring together.

  5. Small 107030 2f2015 01 22 191958 elastic%2bsparkly%2bring 6

    Trim any excess elastic close to the crimp tube.
