As soon as I read about this I wanted to make one myself. SO today, I will be sharing with all of you patriots out there who loved Marie Lu's fantastic trilogy! Let's get started shall we?
Things needed:
Scissors (You won't need these unless you have very small fingers or a big paperclip.)
A round object that is about the size of the finger you are planning to put the ring on. (Preferably a bit larger. Glue sticks, markers, etc.)
Pliers to shape the paperclip.
And of course, a paperclip! (The smaller ones are waaaaay easier to use)
Okay, first you are going to unfold the paperclip all the way.
Next, you wrap the paperclip around the round object. (Please be careful, for paperclip edges can be sharp!)
Then, you will shape the "base" ring with the pliers to fit your finger better.
Now this is the tricky part. With the pliers, you are going to add a bit of a curly cue to each end. (you can do one end if you want.) Be patient! This takes some time and practice! (It's good to have a few extra paperclips on hand just in case!)
For the finishing touches, flatten out the ring into a more circular ring shape (it usually gets out of place when you are adding the curly cues!)
Aaaaaaaaaand viola! You're done! Doesn't it just look awesome on you? These are great to give as small gifts or just wearing them out and about!
Stay tuned each week for a new DIY craft!
