My DIY [Wire Bow Ring]

7.24.2012



 My latest wire creation, I am officially bow obsessed! Steps after the break...

Supplies: 
Jewelry Pliers
Wire

Steps:
1. Start with 6" of wire
2. In the middle create a loop to fit your finger, I wrapped around a chapstick tube to create a rounded circle.
3. With your round pliers, grab the top
4. Bend over the top of the pliers to create the right loop of the bow
5. Next grab the bottom wire
6. Bend over the top of the pliers to create the second loop
7. Adjust so your loops are even
6. Take the end of the left loop, and wrap around the center, through the ring
7. Trim the ends of the wire
* If the ends are sharp, file down to dull edges

    1. I definitely agree. I know my fiance will absolutely love the little bow ring and it'll mean a lot more since I'm making it. But I've made 23 of the blasted little things and I can't get them to turn out right. It all goes downhill on step 6. *sigh*

  58. I'm a beginning DIY'er. I see that you have round nose needle pliers to form the piece, but what do you cut the excess wire with?

Get your wardrobe full of shopping that imparts you a great look and change your appearance. Designer handbags can provide you an appearance like none other. Every season has a unique changing trend and the specialty of designer handbags is that they come out with something special every time, every season. These look hot with every dress of yours and are also a great way to accessorize you. Designer handbags add a little extra glam angle to your wardrobe. Designer handbags use colors which are extremely bold and assiduously match all your dresses and shoes. These bags allow you to be a center of attraction. The exotic shades, colors, design and skin materials look absolutely exquisite and appealing to the eyes. The popularity of designer handbags has increased manifold and infact they have been crafted to be made desirable by all the women.

  60. Thanks for the great idea. I'm getting married and I was looking for ideas for gifts for my bridesmaids to tell them "Thanks for helping me tie the knot". I saw a Kate Spade Necklace that was in the shape of a bow for $78.oo, and with 6 bridesmaids that would add up to a lot of money and way beyond my budget. Now with your help I can make it on my own. Your creativity is such an inspiration. Keep up the amazing work!

    1. You can take a small file (like a nail file) and give the sharp edges a go :)
