New:  The O Ring Tutorial

Picture
I love the hardware store.  As I'm looking at all those little parts and pieces, I rarely wonder about their intended use...instead, I imagine what kind of cool jewels I can make!  This super comfortable and fun ring style came out of picking up a staple at the hardware store.  It's such fun, and so easy to make once you know how, I decided to offer it as a tutorial so everyone can make their own.

This lesson teaches you how to make a fun and easy “O” Ring, which can be adorned in a variety of ways, making each one different and unique.  In this tutorial, I will demonstrate the making of the ring in the center photo above.
