Just imagine the compliments you’ll receive as you flash this gem on your favorite finger. And your response? " Oh, this old thing?…I just added a bit of this and that and now it’s this." And isn’t it lovely? Yes it is! And it’s totally you! Now that you’ve imagined the scenario, it’s time to make your one of a kind, totally you, spring ring! First, take one or more old plain costume rings that you have in a junk drawer or go to your favorite thrift store and purchase a couple of used rings for less than a few dollars. Next, gather with your circle, take out your junk boxes and get to work designing and gluing just the right details to make your ring a real dazzler — your true reflections revealed! Be sure to bring your junk boxes full of odds and ends to dig into for the whole circle to share and get ideas from. Have fun! Here are some suggested materials to help you come up with some expressive ideas: photos hair fake fur small ornaments beads glitter nail polish pendants buttons filled bottle caps seeds painted rocks mirror money other materials required: rings for fingers: get a variety of old rings from your favorite thrift store super glue, a hot glue gun or epoxy maybe a special box for your little treasure! camera — please send us a photo and we’ll post it in the gallery! |
