Updated on November 8, 2016
Rings are a fun way to add some pizzazz to any outfit, but there’s no need to break the bank by buying a ring at the jewelry store – why not make your own instead? Here are 25 of our very favorite DIY rings that we’ve collected from around the internet.
1. Beaded Chain Ring
This understated ring has a beautiful, minimalist look to it – and it’s incredibly simple to make! Just grab some gold chain, wire and a few beads to get started… and you’ll be done in a jiffy. Make your way over to Nearly Crafty to check out the full photo tutorial.
2. Quartz Ring Tutorial
Here we have a set of beautiful quartz rings that are deceptively easy to make. The key is to find what are called “ring blanks,” which are basically the metal part of the ring without the stone. Head on over to The Effortless Chic to find out all about it.
3. Seed Bead Rings
These geometric beauties are made with seed beads, string and a needle. They are formed by creating an intricate yet easy-to-achieve woven pattern. And you can make any pattern that you like by using different bead colors. Get the instructions over at Gloria Fort.
