How To Make Easy Beaded Rings
Materials & Tools
28-30 faceted rondelles, 2mm*
Elastic beading cord, transparent, .5mm width
Jeweler’s glue like G-S Hypo
Strip of paper
*For larger beads, like 3mm or 4mm, you’ll need fewer beads.
Scissors
Steps
1. Start by figuring out your ring size. To do this, wrap a thin strip of paper around your finger and trim it so it fits end to end exactly around your finger. Lay the strip of paper out flat to use as a guide.
2. Cut a 6” piece of the elastic beading cord. Feed the beads onto the beading cord (be careful not to let the beads slide off the other end of the cord!).
Periodically hold the beaded strand up to the strip of paper to see if it’s long enough. Keep adding beads until the beaded section of the cord is the same length as the strip of paper.
3. Tie the ends of the elastic cord together using two overhand knots (pull super tight against the beads).
Add a dab of jeweler’s glue to the knot to secure it.
Then trim the ends of the cord as close to the knot as possible.
Aren’t these so fun? We think they’d make great gifts to!
Happy crafting,
Jennifer & Kitty
