Bored? Make one of these cute, simple rings to kill some time.
First cut about 12" of wire with your wire cutters.
next take a bead and slide it down to the middle of the length of wire.
ok then bend the wire at the bead so that you trap the bead in the loop. you might want to twist the wire a little to secure the bead at the end. make sure you straiten out the wire so that the two ends are close enough together to strnge beads on.
start stringing beads at the wires two ends.
to check to see if it's the right size of your finger, thread the two wire ends through the little loop at the end bead (there should be enough room, but if there's not, just thread it through the bead itself) try to slide the ring around your finger. If it's a little tight, take it off and unthread the wires to add a few more beads. If it's to too loose, take a few beads off untill it feels good.
once you get the perfect fit, keep the wire threaded in the loop. wrap the wire around the wire between the end bead and the bead next to it a few times, then cute the wire as close to the ring as you can. wrap eccess wire.
you're done!
