I just had thee most GLORIOUS time making bead-cluster rings! I got the idea from my sister-in-law's ring she wore this past Sunday...I was so excited to give it a try! And lucky for me, I didn't have to pay a cent! I had everything I needed at home!
Find yourself some of these... head pins for beading.
Use the pliers to cut and make your loop.
Once your've done this to all your beads for your cluster,
loop them all onto one bead ring. THEN, loop THAT ring onto a button that looks like this...
Then glue the button onto an adjustable finger ring!
shake it around and feel pretty!
You can mix and match fun color schemes to match your wardrobe!

and then keep shakin' it...
so I'm more of a bracelet and ring kind of person. Well I couldn't stop!
I had to make MORE RINGS!
So I went through my odds and end jewelry bag of stuff that has potential...
I got these at Michaels for $2...
I took the centers out...
Covered the map with some Mod Podge Dimensional Magic
(which I'm now in LOVE with)...and attached them onto rings!
I bought a few of the glasses, and took the embellishments off...
Then I turned it into a ring! (This one's my favorite on)...
and then rolled up the lace to make a pretty flower ring!
This is a hand on the hip kind of ring!
I had leftover buttons from making my matching hats...
(And then used the Mod Podge Dimensional Magic
to tickle my fancy and gloss over the bird)
This is a necklace from my grandma. I dont wear it...
But I thought it was too pretty to be at the BACK of a neck...
This darn thing wouldn't stay in my hair...
So it's glued on for keeps...
This was also an overly gorgeous necklace clasp...
That now shower's my ring finger in black and white pearls...
But once I put it on it was too plain.
(And used some more Mod Podge Dimensional Magic to top it off...)
where my husband works graveyards, and I give in to my "girl time" needs
by embellishing my fingers).
I made too many, and made some DOUBLES!
SO...
2 winners will be chosen to pick from below...
(sorry this pic is so bad! I took it at night and had no natural light like the ones above.
So you can look at the ones above to see what it looks like)
