Handmade accessories are always trendy and never went out of fashion. If you search online, many are selling handmade accessories on online stores. Likewise, many web pages were put up, dedicated to disclose easy do-it-yourself guides. However, it is rare to see instructions on making handmade rings on these pages.
Rings do not receive much attention like necklaces and bracelets obtain. It is not only because of its size but also, the choice of material for handmade rings are limited.

Wire handmade rings are "in" in today's generation and come in different colors and shapes to match other handmade accessories. Twisting the wire is complicated but if you have the right tools, it will be easy.
The materials to be used for the handmade rings are:
• Soft 18g wire, about 30 cm long per ring. There are several types of wire sold in the craft stores. You can choose from sterling silver, copper and the likes.
• One (1) rondell shape handmade bead. Make sure that, it has a large hole so you can pull two (2) wires through easily.
• Wire cutter
• Chain-nose pliers
• Ring mandrel with the desired diameter of the handmade accessories. Mandrels are sold in jewelry supply stores. If you are making several rings, then purchase several mandrels of different sizes. You can also make use of the items you have at home like candle, handle of the broom, etc., if getting several mandrels is impossible.
Instructions for making handmade rings:
1. Lay the wire on your work surface and position the ring mandrel at the center of the ring. Make sure that the length of the wire is equal on both sides of the mandrel. Wrap the wire two times on the mandrel.
2. Do not cut the excess wire, but instead bend it up sharply.
3. Insert and slide down the bead until it reaches the base of the handmade ring.
4. Bend the wires right on top of the bead forming a right angle.
5. Coil the wires above the bead by creating a small circle using one wire. Push the other wire against it without overlapping them. Firmly coil the wires against the bead. If it puffs up, press firmly the wires downward using a piece of wood. If the desired number of coils has been reached, leave 5 cm of wire to close the handmade ring before cutting the excess wire.
6. Bring the 5 cm-wires down to the shank on each sides of the bead, and then twine it on the ring's base to secure the handmade accessory. Trim the wire ends properly to prevent hurting yourself. A small exposed sharp end is very dangerous.
7. Your handmade ring is done.
If you have several beads with different colors, you can make more handmade rings and send them out as gifts. Likewise, match the ring with your other handmade accessories.
