What To Do With Those Left Over Rings

Why not make a simple yet elegant necklace. Better yet, make to and make a pair of earrings!

What you need to make one of these cute little whirly gigs:

2 (A) 18gauge 9/64” Artistic

Wire® Chain Maille Jump Rings
6 (B) 18gauge 7/32” Artistic Wire® Chain Maille Jump Rings
1 (C) 18gauge 11/64” Artistic Wire® Chain Maille Jump Rings
1 (D) 18gauge 3/32” Artistic Wire® Chain Maille Jump Rings
6 6mm pearls, I used Swarvoski™ pearls

1 8” piece of .015mm Wild Fire™ beading thread, I used Frost

Beadalon® Bead Stringing Glue
A chain or a pair of ear wires
Scissors
Bead buddy – optional

1) Close the six (B) rings
2) Open the two (A) rings
3) With an open (A) ring, scoop up all six of the (B) rings, close the (A) ring
4) Repeat step 3 with the second (A) ring
5) Place a bead stopper at one end of the beading wire
6) Thread the other end of the wire through any of the six (B) rings
7) Thread a 6mm pearl onto the beading wire
8) Thread the beading wire through the next (B) ring

9) Repeat steps 7 and 8 until all the pearls have been added to the thread

10) Make sure both ends of the beading thread are protruding from the same space, tie a surgeons’ knot with the beading wire

11) Place a dab of bead stringing glue onto the knot, let the glue dry

12) When the glue is dry, cut the ends as close to the knot as possible without cutting the knot!

13) With an open (D) ring scoop up any one of the (B) rings, close ring

14) With an open (C) ring scoop up the (D) ring added in step 13

15) Thread the chain through the (C) ring
