Description

i wanted to turn a cheap piece of hardware into something with some wow factor.

Instructions

  1. Small ring 019

    find a compression sleeve at the hardware that fits on the figure that you want to wear it on. a little note: these are very malleable, so please take the ring off when you are working. rough it up a bit on the inside using sandpaper or the tip of a pair of scissors. it will help the paint stick.

  2. Small ring 024

    paint the inside of the ring. you can hold it with tweezers if you don't want to get your fingers messy. let it dry and then add a second coat.

  3. Small ring 033

    now rough up the outside of the ring and paint. again allow to dry and then paint a second coat.

  4. Small ring 034

    you could also add a coat of clear polish to the outside for added strength. but that's it. it's ready to wear.
