Tutorial: Beaded Turban Ring

3 Comments

I’m a last-minute gift-giver. 90% of the gifts on my list have not been bought or made. . . yet. I’m that on the ball this year. In fact, does anyone else feel like they’re just dragging behind with holiday prep?

Each year I try to make most of my gifts. It’s become increasingly harder with two kids and calligraphy work. So I like to go for things that are simple, thoughtful and/or cute. I was playing around with an idea for a ring design using only these small beads and gold wire. That’s when the idea for this little ring struck. It’s so easy, you could make up a bunch for  of your besties this winter!

Supplies

Cut the wire about 8 inches long. bend one end about 2 inches from the end. The bend will keep the beads from falling off.

With the straight end, string the beads, about 4-5 inches. Some glass beads won’t fit at all, while others will slide on smoothly. Just keep picking out more beads until you find one that fits.

Wrap the beaded wire around a marker or finger. Above I have 4 wraps. Only wrap the marker twice. Remove any excess beads, then trim and kink the straight end about an inch or so in.

Coil one wire around the other, tucking the end in as much as you can.

Coil the second end around the first coil tightly.

      I haven’t bought most of my gifts, either. I need to do more DIY gifts–people end up appreciating them more than store-bought stuff!

      Oh, me, too! Every year I fall further and further behind. I am so buried in dress alterations for winter balls that I’ll probably be up till 3 on Christmas morning this year.
