Easy Peasy Silver Rose Button Ring

I found instructions to make similar rings in issue 24 of The Bead Book.

I’ll share with you how I made mine.

I used:

• Memory Wire ring size from The Bead Shop
• ± 70 3mm seed beads in charcoal
• 25mm Silver Rose button
• round nose pliers, needle nose pliers and side cutter

Method:

• Start by making a small loop at one end of wire. (I was caught off guard at how hard this wire is – be careful with slipping your pliers)
• Thread half your beads onto the wire; about 1 and a half loops if you want it symmetrical and not too tight.
• Next thread on your button (I love the rose buttons I got from our haberdashery!)
• Thread on the rest of your beads. If using the memory wire rings that I used, then you will have about a whole loop of wire left over: Trim leaving enough wire to make a closing loop.

I have kind of thick fingers when compared to the rest of the ring wearing population. (Think my wedding ring measured S or T) So after making one I pulled the loops apart and stretched the loops a bit so that the ring fits comfortably. This means that one size will basically fit all!

The other three I made in the same style are for sale on my bid-or-buy page.
