Adjustable Wire Ring Tutorial

This ring is quick and easy and a great introduction to making wire wrapped rings.It's also adjustable making it ideal for giving to people when you don't know their ring size and a great little ring to make quick sales at craft shows.Materials and Tools:

• Wire - I used 20 gauge, half-hard wire for this tutorial, but even thicker would be great, too!  (The lower the number the thicker the wire.)
• Ring Mandrel
• Round Nose Pliers
• Wire cutters

Step #1

Cut a piece of wire about 3" - 5" long.  Obviously, if your finger is bigger, you'll need a longer piece of wire.  Experiment.Step #2Use your round nose pliers to make a loop on one end.Step #3Make a loop on the other end, in the opposite direction as seen in the photo above.Step #4Wrap the wire around the ring mandrel or another round object.Keep the wire straight the the 2 loops will be flat as seen in the photo below.For a different look, you could hammer the wire flat before wrapping around the ring mandrel.That's all there is to this ring! Simple and elegant.If you want to take it a few steps further, check out my Adjustable Wire Ring with Bead Clusters Pattern.
