Make This - Beaded Rings - Luxe DIY - How Did You Make This? These rings are pretty, surprisingly quick to make, and a great way to learn peyote beadwork stitch if you’ve never tried it before.

There’s no bead loom or other specialty gear involved here. Just some beads, a needle and thread. Materials and Equipment: - Delica Glass Seed Beads – Delicas are perfect little cylinders and lack the rounded edge that other kinds of seed beads have. You can use any size 11 or smaller seed bead for this, but I like the Delicas for the crisp finish they give. - Beading Needles – My all time favorites are John James size 12 needles.

Whatever you get, make sure they’re thin and buy a few, they’re fragile and you’ll probably break one. - Beading Thread – This is a brand called Nymo, and the size is OO. If you’re working at a table you’re good to just pour out beads like this, but if you’re working on a lap tray it’s wise to keep your beads in some small, shallow bowls or a similar container. Temporarily use one of your beads as a “knot.” Bonus tip! DIY Weekly - Crystal Ring. DIY Adviento 24 y una Feliz Navidad! DIY - trajes, accesorios y zapatos de blog de Dana Moda.

DIY Schritt 6. Button Statment Rings | - StumbleUpon. It’s September and that means it’s time to add another statement piece to your collection…. obviously! I heart almost every piece Nicole Richie designs for House Of Harlow 1960, especially her oversized rings.

As amazing as these rings are they’re also an easy DIY. My friend Jenni, from I Spy DIY, did a project a few months back where she transformed buttons into earrings. #SuperFab This got me thing…let’s transform buttons into statement rings! Buttons, buttons everywhere!! Someone please tell me why I’ve collected all these buttons. Materials: Buttons, Clippers, Glue, Rings With Flat Tops (available at the jewelry supply store) Use your clippers to remove the shank from the back of the button. Once you’ve made the back of the button flat, use an ample amount of glue to secure the ring to the back of the button.

Here’s another hint: If you can’t find a flat ring base, Ring Pops are a fun alternative. Once the base has dried, glue on the button.
