"I love ordering through auntiesbeads.com! I live in a town where the closest thing to a bead store (hobby lobby) is 30 minutes away and the quality and service aren't up to par. With your website I can get most everything I need in a very short period of time and with anything that isn't available I can sign up for emails to let me know when they become available. Thank you for being my go-to bead supplier!"

Party Ring

This gorgeous button bead was just asking to be made into a ring.  The finished piece begs to be worn out for a night of fun!

Kelly McCoy, Auntie’s Beads Designer

If you have never made a wire wrapped ring, I recommend watching the Wire Wrapped Rings Video  before getting started.

Instructions:

1. Cut a piece of wire about two feet long and place your button bead in the center.  Hold your button bead firmly and bend both pieces of wire straight backward so that they are parallel.
2.  Grab your ring mandrel.  I recommend squeezing it sticking up between your knees while you wrap your ring to hold it steady.  Decide what size you would like your finished ring to be; we're going to start wrapping one size higher than the size you want your ring to ultimately be.  So, if you want your ring a size 6, you will start wrapping at the size 7 notch on the mandrel.
3.  At the correct notch, place the button bead on the mandrel with the wire pointing backwards, one wire on each side of the mandrel. Wrap the wire around the mandrel three times, paying attention that the wire is not overlapping in the back but instead stacks neatly.
4.  Bend the top wire down and the bottom wire up on either side of the button bead and carefully remove it from the mandrel.
5.  Begin wrapping the wire around the band as neatly and as close to the button bead as possible.  Wrap three times.  I found that my chain nose pliers were helpful in wrapping tightly and neatly.
6.  On the other side, prior to wrapping around the band, we want to create a small base for the button bead to prevent wiggling.  Wrap around the base of the button bead tightly, twice.  Then wrap around the band as you did in step five.  Follow step six for both sides.
6.  Trim your wire with your nipper tool and use your crimper tool to squeeze it down to prevent scratching or snagging of clothing.
