DIY: Top knuckle ring




Hey loves!
I'm going to show you guys a quick, and simple way to make your own top knuckle rings! They're so popular now, and sometimes they're even way over priced. I'm going to show you how to make at least 10, for only $1.

You'll need:
Image
Wire: I purchased mine at the dollarstore. You can also get some at your local craft store. This wire is pretty much bendable to the point where I won't need pliers. If you do get a thicker type you may need a pair.
Image
Scissors: To cut your wire to your desired length.
LET'S GET STARTED ON OUR FIRST DESIGN!!
Image
Step 1: Cut a piece of wire about the size of your wrist. The type of ring we are going to create is a wrap around, and we need quite a bit of wire. Once you have that piece cut, begin by taking one end of the wire and wrapping it around your finger.
Image
Step 2: Keep wrapping!
Image
Step 3: When you are completely done wrapping your ring should now look like this.
Image
Step 4: Tuck those sharp edges in by wrapping them around the top of the ring.
Image
TADA! Ring one is done. You can tighten it now to make the space between the wire closer together.

RING TWO
Image
Step 1: You're going to cut a piece of wire, a little bit smaller this time. You're then going to make a little loop at the end of the wire.
Image
Step 2: String the straight end into the end with the loop.
Image
Step 3: Put your finger through the ring hole and pull the straight end to make it tight and the desired fit.
Image
Step 4: Remove your finger and take that straight piece that is sticking out and begin to loop it through the ring and tighten it each time at the top of the ring.
