DIY Ring Project

Our hands are front and center everyday—from typing away on a keyboard to greeting new clients with a friendly shake—so they definitely deserve to be dressed up. We’ve shown you ways to decorate your digits with fall nail art and the best ways to cover up bare wrists, but now, we’re concentrating on putting a ring on it—DIY style. It’s safe to say you’ll be blown away by these 1000+ different ways to make your own bling rings.

1. Emerald Green Statement Button Ring: This stunner is seriously as simple as DIY rings get. Find a gorgeous button, snip off its shank, then glue that gem to a ring back. Done and done.

2. Beaded Ring: These fun beaded rings looks like a friendship bracelet for your finger! While this project is more complex than the one above, there’s a nice diagram in the tutorial to help you string your beads from start to finish.

3. Glitter Leather Star Ring: Two of our favorite materials join forces to make this dazzling little star ring. If you’ve got any leather scrap left over, you should totally take a shot at making our leather star tee to match!

4. Knitted Bow Ring: The worlds of knitting and jewelry collide with this adorable ring. Just about 15 rows of knitting and purling gets you this perfectly plump bow.

5. DIY Knot Ring: Channel your inner scout for this ring DIY. Using a strip of knit fabric—like a clipping from an old t-shirt—tie one basic knot on top of the other. The result is the chicest ball of knots we’ve ever seen!

6. Neon Clay Shapes Jewelry: Stamp, bake, and glue to get these eye-catching clay shapes! We can’t decide if we like the hot pink circle or highlighter yellow square more.

7. DIY Heart Ring: You’ll fall in love with round needle nosed pliers once you find out just what they can do, like twist, curve, and bend wire into this totally rad ring. We heart it!
