statement ring 3 ways

I have a few very simple ring DIYs to share with you guys! Get excited because these are perfect for Valentines Day!

Ring style #1

What you need:
-Wool or felt
-Fabric in similar color
-Ring
-Hot glue gun
-Scissors

What to do:
-Cut a strip of wool 7 1/2" x 1/2"
-Using a glue gun, add a thin strip of glue to one side
-Fold in half to attach the ends (hot dog style) It should look like a straw.
-After the glue has dried, cut tiny silts down the length of the wool straw on the folded side. (Make sure not to cut all the way through)
-Now roll into a circle, petals facing up.  (hot glue as you coil to secure the flower shape)
-Cut a small circle of fabric to cover the bottom of the flower (attach with glue)
-All you have to do now is attach the ring to the back, and your done!

Ring Style #2

What you need:
-Thin cotton fabric (I used a really light pink)
-Felt
-Batting
-Thin cardboard (a cereal box works great)
-Ring
-Hot glue gun
-Scissors 

What to do:
-Cut a heart shape out of the cardboard. (whatever size looks best on your hand)
-Then cut the same size heart from the batting.
-You will also need to cut a heart out of the pink cotton fabric.  (it needs to be a little bit larger that the cardboard heart)
 
-Glue the batting heart on top of the cardboard heart.
-Place it batting side down on top of the fabric heart.
-Glue around the edge of the cardboard and fold the fabric tightly over the side.
 -Continue gluing and pulling until you are satisfied with the shape of the heart, and like the way it looks from the front.
-Now cut a heart shape from the felt (it needs to be a little bit smaller)
-Glue it to the back of the heart.
 -Glue the ring to the back of the heart, and enjoy your heart ring!

Ring Style #3

These are simply fabric covered buttons attached to a ring.

You could use a kit to cover the buttons, or if you just want to make these with things you already have, just follow my button earring tutorial.

Enjoy your weekend!
