A Beautiful Mess. I love a good ring dish.

A Beautiful Mess

Especially if you love to do thin stacking rings like I do, it's a really good idea to have a ring dish at strategic locations in your house (next to the bed, in the bathroom, by the kitchen sink) so you always have a spot nearby when you take off your rings.

Here's how: Supplies:-waterslide decal paper-scissors-turpentine-water-based polyurethane-foam craft brushes -white ring dish (I used these small appetizer plates)-Canon PIXMA MG7720 photo printer First you'll want to choose the photo(s) you want to put on your ring dish.

Cut it out using an xacto. 02. to mold the shape, place your circle into a bowl or saucer and gently sculpt the sides into a bowl shape. if you use a bowl, make sure it’s one that you never use with food! 03. bake according to the package directions, with the circle still molded in the saucer or bowl. sand for a smooth finish once they’re dry and cool.
