Tiny ring


I'm in love with this ring because it's so simple and yet looks wonderful. It's extremely easy to do and if you want to do it, you'll need:
- metallic wire (I chose silver but you can find coloured wires anywhere)
- small pliers

The first thing you have to do is test your wire: if it's thick enough, you'll just need one fragment for the ring; if it isn't, then you'll need do cut 3/4 pieces with the same lenght and roll them on top of each other like a nylon rope (that's what I did on my ring, as you can see in the picture).

After that you tie a knot with the wire, a simple one, make sure it gets in the middle of your piece of wire. It doesn't have to be too tight, otherwise you can brake the wire or the knot may even look terrible.

Shape it a little if you have to and then place it arround your finger in order to see if it fits.

Once you're done you take the pliers and you shape the tips of your ring curving them in opposite directions, so that in the end you'll have something do "lock" the ring, as you cross one tip with the other.

And you're done. Sorry that I just have pictures about the final result, but this one was made long before I had this blog.
