DIY BRAIDED RING




 You will need: 
Wire cutters, Pliers (preferably needle nose) and 20 Gauge wire

Begin by cutting three pieces of wire about three to four inches long. Keep in mind that it is always better to start with a little extra. You can always trim off any excess wire in the end. 

Hold onto one end of the wire, tight, between your fingers and start braiding toward the loose end. 
Once to the end you will need to finish braiding the side previously held in your fingers. 
When you have braided all the wires end to end, shape them around the finger of which you wish to wear your ring - This should then make any loose ends of the wire overlap. 

Take the opposite loose ends and wrap them around each other making sure to tuck any of the sharp ends into the braid. try to spread the loose ends out rather than making a big wire knot at the base of the ring.

I would suggest using a sauntering iron, if you have one, to saunter the loose ends together. I do not have one of my own, but eventually hope to invest in one. 


Have a lovely Saturday!
