Another Tutorial on this fine Tuesday for ya:o)
I saw a tutorial on how to make a ring a couple of months ago. I cannot for the life of me remember where I found it. I really need to start bookmarking these pages so that I can link back. Anyway, I bought the supplies to make the rings forever ago, all except E6000. I finally bought the E6000 yesterday, and now I can share with you what I did.
These are the supplies to make the ring
A ring doo-hicky thing(how's that for a technical term:o))
sandpaper
clamp
E6000(found at Hobby Lobby)
pliers
buttons(mine are vintage....L.O.V.E.)
First you want to remove the loop on the back of the button
Use your pliers to do this step.
The button will look something like this when done
Aren't these buttons pretty?
After removing that piece, you will need to sand the back of the button. I also sanded the ring post thing:o)
Next step is to apply E6000. (Gorilla Glue does not work for this project. I have been successful with G.G. on just about anything else except jewelry. I made this same ring twice with said adhesive and the button popped off both times.)
Now there are all kinds of scary warnings on the back of this tube, so I took my little self outside and applied a dollop on the ring and clamped the button to the ring post.
Now comes the patience...not sure how long it is supposed to sit. I did mine last night, so it at least had the night to sit. And this is how it turned out:o)
If you have run across this same tutorial out in blog land, please shoot me an email so I can give the props to the crafty one who came up with this idea:o)
