Hey guys! Today we are doing knuckle rings! So, I am going to show you how to create a
clover, a heart design, a bow and comment below if you would like to see how to make
a mustache ring and the infinity ring. So, I hope you find this interesting and let's
get started. Above knuckle rings are very popular right
now, they are such a fun and cute accessory. The best part is that to make them you only
need round nose pliers, wire cutters, jewelry wire and some round tool like lipstick, marker,
mascara or anything else that has a similar size as your finger.
Since I am feeling extremely lucky today, we are first making a four leaf clover ring.
Start by cutting approximately 30 centimeters or 12 inches of wire. Clamp your pliers down
in the middle of the wire and take one end over the pliers like so to create a v shape.
Place the pliers on one side of the v shape as close to the loop as possible and bend
the wire up to get a wave. Next bend the wire down again into a heart shape, which is a
clover leaf in our case. Then just repeat this step four times to get a four leaf clover.
I am using a relatively thin wire, which is easier to work with when you're making precise
designs like this one. The next two ring DIYs in this tutorial are much easier to make and
for those, you can use a thicker wire to make your rings bolder.
Once you have a clover design you need to round up the two parts of the wire peeking
out to form a ring. Press the clover against your tool and wrap the wire around it until
it overlaps once. Place the pliers on the wire at the back of your ring and create a
loop. Snip away the excess wire and make sure that the loop is flat against your finger
so you don't hurt yourself with the sharp end of the wire. Repeat this step on the other
side and your clover ring is done. I think it is so pretty and unique. I made two of
them! A bigger and a smaller one. Now let's make a heart ring. Actually, a two
hart ring -- which is even better! Again, you will need 12 inches or 30 centimeters
of wire. Press the wire against your tool and wrap it around until it overlaps. Now
start creating a heart shape on one part of the wire like so. Round shape pliers are an
essential tool in making wire rings as they allow creating perfect loops to get neat designs.
Once you have a shape like this, squeeze the wave together to end up with a pretty heart
shape. Then wrap the extra wire just below your heart a few times. To get the ring shape
back, wrap the wire around your rounding tool at any point of the ring making process. Now
repeat the step on the other part of the wire to get the second heart. The clover and the
heart ring could make such a nice little present for your friends and loved ones, don't you
think? They are adjustable in size and symbolize love and luck -- a perfect gift for a person
we love and wish all the luck in the world, right? Finally, just snip the excess wire
and our heart ring is now finished. What is great about wire rings is that you
can be very creative and make countless different designs and shapes by playing with jewelry
wire. I am making three designs today, but I have many more in my mind. So let me know
if you would like to see them. Last but not least, I am making a bow ring.
Wrap the wire around the tool, so it overlaps like this. Take the ring of the tool and place
the pliers on one side of the wire, where the wires overlap. Bend one end of the wire
over the pliers to get a loop. Then repeat this step at the other end and you can already
see a bow shape. Now take one end of the wire around the center of the bow and through the
ring's hole. Repeat this step two times. This way your bow shape will be firmer and the
ring will look neater. If the ring circle has lost its shape while you were making a
bow, just press onto your rounding tool and you'll get the perfect circle again. Lastly,
you just need to snip the excess wire and you're done. This ring is so girly and super
easy to make. If you like the regular rings more than the above knuckle ones just pick
a larger tool and make a larger ring circle. This way you'll be able to wear all these
designs as normal rings. Pretty neat solution, don't you think?
Please let me know which design was your favorite and also tell me if you would like to see
the next episode of the ring DIYs. Bye, Bye!
