Simple Ring Design
This is one of the simplest ring designs that I make. I use whatever size wire fits in the beads best. I thread the beads on the wire and wrap it around the ring mandrel twice. Then I bend the wire a little to keep the beads in place and remove it from the mandrel. This is the most difficult part - keeping the beads snug and keeping the wire ring from getting larger. Then I wrap the wire tails around the ring wires a few times and snip the ends. I know I should draw a picture or take a few pictures while I'm making one - but I'm not prepared to do that today. I'll do it the next time my photo studio is set up.
