Paper Clip Ring

While looking over a blog that a friend had linked me to, I discovered this really cute and EASY ring project. It took me under 10 minutes to make and came out purdy darn cute,
if I do say so myself :0)
I plan on making TONS more of these and giving them as gifts!
Who doesn't love getting jewelry? Even if its only made out of paper clips :0)
Here are a few pics of my finished project :





Here's how to make one :0)

Supplies Needed:
5 paperclips ( I used #1 size clips but any should work)
Loose Beads
Pliers (needle nose or jewelry type work best)
A 'lil bit of imagination :0)



Unfold all your paperclips and use the pliers to "straighten" them out.
Twist 2 paperclips around your finger forming circles.



Put the 2 circles together by twisting the excess pieces together to form your ring base.



Then with 2 paperclips "string" a few beads on each clip and twist and twist until it looks like a mess :0) Try to make it in a cluster..This will act as your ring topper.
Lastly, use your final paperclip to attach your topper to your ring base.
Seal the inside of the ring base with clear nail polish to ensure you don't get a green finger :0)

*If you have any sharp edges from cutting ends off the clips, use a nail file to smooth them out and seal it with clear nail polish*

I would love to see your results from this fun and easy project :0)

Happy Craftin'!!
