I recently received some really fabulous beads with which to experiment and come up with a tutorial for a beaded ring. You can purchase the striped fish beads I'm using for yourself from SB Supply at sbsupply.etsy.com. I ended up making two tutorials since the shop owner was generous enough to ship me six beads. This one uses both beads and buttons.
I recently received some really fabulous beads with which to experiment and come up with a tutorial for a beaded ring. You can purchase the striped fish beads I'm using for yourself from SB Supply at sbsupply.etsy.com. I ended up making two tutorials since the shop owner was generous enough to ship me six beads. This one uses both beads and buttons.
Here's what you'll need: 1. A fish bead from SB Supply 2. A "two hole" button (button that's flat on the back) 3. A flat round ring (I'm using one with a 12 mm pad) 4. E6000 or your favorite adhesive
First, attach the button to the ring with adhesive.
Allow it to dry completely. I'd leave it for 24 hours.
Then put a SMALL amount of adhesive on the top of the button. I emphasize small because you're going to take the fish bead and press it into the adhesive, attaching it to the top of the button. If you put too much adhesive on, it's going to squish out the sides of the bead making your ring a little less polished in appearance.
Once you've attached the bead let it dry - again, I recommend waiting 24 hours to make sure it's completely dry. Then you've got a really cool beaded button ring!
