DIY: Dainty Wire Rings

I love dainty rings that wrap around the entire fingers and knuckles and go with just about anything! That's why I decided to take a trip to my local crafts store and pick up the tools I needed to stock up my ring collection. Keep on reading to find out how to make your own dainty wire rings.

Your going to want to start by picking up a pair of wire cutters, a nail polish bottle the same size as your finger, and wire, preferably 20 gauge wire. 

You can start by wrapping the wire in cool designs and using the wire cutter to cut off the excessive amount of wire from around your finger.

You can also begin by "measuring" out the amount of wire you need around the nail polish bottle and cutting it about a centimeter out from where the wire ends touch each other.

My favorite part is actually creating loops and words which is done by using your fingers or the wire cutter's pointy ends and moving the wire until it forms the shape you desire.

DIY: Zipper Bracelet

A zipper bracelet is so edgy, unique, and very easy to make. All you need is a zipper, closures, and pliers. The supplies can be found at stores such as Wal-Mart, Target, and any art supply stores. The complete product costs around $10 and come in all types of variations depending upon your zipper color and closure style.

 

1. Begin by measuring your zipper around your wrist
2. Make sure the zipper is zipped up and cut off the excess.
3. Take your closure and tighten it around the end of one side. Repeat on the other side.
4. Use pliers to make the closures tighter.
5. Try on your zipper bracelet and close it to the perfect size for you.    

 

Below are two ways I wear my own zipper bracelet, all the way zipped on and halfway zipped up. Be sure to try out this DIY zipper look and tell me how it turns out!
