You Will Need
-
Step 1Remove the top rim from any kind of small plastic bottle. The softer the plastic, the better and easier to cut. (You can also use the bottom part of a plastic toy bowling pin, as I did in the green example.)
-
Step 2Make a whole bunch of parallel diagonal cuts, forming skinny strips that swirl around the bottle.
-
Step 3Twist each strip tightly around something like a metal poker.
-
Step 4The strip will curl up. Do this for all the strips, and voila! That is your flame.
-
Step 5Cut a piece of craft wire (between 8 and 12 inches long, depending on the height of your ring). Fold it in half and thread the two ends up through a ring blank.
-
Step 6Poke 2 holes in the bottom of your flame, and thread the flame onto the wire.
-
Step 7Twist the two wire ends together inside the flame.
-
Step 8Swirl the two wires around something skinny, to create decorative swirlies inside the flame.
-
Step 9Optional: you can dress the ring up further by adding a filigree or a silk flower onto the ring blank, before you add the flame.
-
Step 10You can also double up on the wire, to create 4 swirlies inside the flame. If you like, you can add beads onto the tips of the swirlies for even more detail.
