If you are bored and have some string and glue at home, why not make some rings?

They are so easy to make that it can be a fun activity for kids, but anyone can enjoy making these :)

You can go for a leathery look or even get close to a fake metal effect.. or make them colorful and blingy - completely up to you!

Supplies

string / yarn
a round object (the size of your finger)
clingfilm or tape
scissors
white glue
acrylic paint

Optional:

nail polish
rhinestones

Step 1: Preparation

First, you need to find an object that's the size of your finger. I found some nail polish bottles that worked for me. You can test the size with a ring that you already have.

Cover the object with clingfilm or tape.

You can try out different kinds of string / yarn. See what you have at home and try it out!

If you want, you can also braid your string and add that to your ring for a different effect.

Step 2: Shaping the Ring

Take a good amount of string and coat it in glue with your fingers before you wind it around your object.

You can either wind it around in a neat fashion or in a more messy "freestyle" way.

When you're happy with it, cut off the excess and add more glue with a brush to the whole ring. You want enough glue to soak into the string, but not so much that it looks messy.

Let that dry and gently pull it off - and you got yourself a ring! It's flexible but holds its shape - the more string and glue/paint you add, the stiffer it gets.
