Monday Funday: Ring Bling

By Candie Cooper - See more from Candie on her blog, Candie Cooper's Journal


This year at the Craft and Hobby show I got to show off Plaid's Ring Bling line. With a love for big rings, I was in heaven! Women (and a few men) stopped by to make a ring. It only took a few minutes and everyone walked away smiling. Thanks to everyone who stopped by the Plaid booth!


The line is made up of ring blanks and a few bracelet blanks with tons of embellishments to go on top. The embellishments are metal, acrylic, sparkly, beaded and matte, tiny and big. I love that the rings come in different adjustable metal colors as well as styles from vintage to modern so there is one to suit everyone's personal taste.



Here are just a few of the embellishments that you'll find in the line. I've stacked two or three pieces together so you get some ideas. Once you're happy with the layering, it's time to glue!

 



Use a multi-purpose adhesive like Quick Grip or Dazzle Tac to put them together. Put a small dot of glue on a piece of paper and dip a toothpick in it to apply small bits of glue to tiny embellishments.

 



You can prop the rings up on a tube of lip gloss while they dry. Another idea is to fill a bowl with rice and bury the ring part to hold it upright while it dries.

 



One ring leads to another and another and another. Super addictive! This is your warning!

 



For an extra idea, you can glue a pretty button or two to a ring blank. Or how about cutting the back off of grandma's old clip on earring and glue it to a ring like I did here.

 


This could be a perfect activity for girl's night out, teen slumber party, DIY prom jewelry, and rainy day activity. Plaid's new Ring Bling line can be found at Jo-Ann Fabrics and Crafts.
