Super Simple Toe Ring Tutorial

Ok, this here post is for Femiology.
How to make a cute toe ring, Dress up those bare summer sandal feet.
Step 1
Tools.
You really only need one tool for this and its available at most Walmarts for about 5$.  Its a 3 in 1 tool with wire cutter, flat surface, and rounded ends

.
Materials.
Wire...
There are many different types, sizes, and colors of this available. What I recommend for this project is either colored and coated copper or aluminum craft wire. It comes in several different gauges. You will want one that is 16. It's sturdy enough to walk around with on your toes.
Makeup tube.
What's makeup got to do with jewelry you say? Lol
Choose a tube of mascara, liner pencil or some other cylindric item that is about as thick around as the size of the toe/finger that the ring is being made for.
Ruler.
Gotta know how much wire you'll need.
Gather together all the items above.
Step 2
Cut an 8 inch length of the wire.
Holding the makeup tube, place the wire on the tube with about an inch sticking out and hold it with your thumb.
Wrap the wire around the tube twice, still holding it in place with your thumb, pulling tight.
You now have a coil. Remove coil from the tube.


Place coil on the ruler, and measure 1 inch on each side. Cut any extra wire off of the ends.



Using the tips of the tool, grab the wire on one end and begin to curl it into a loop. Do a complete loop and being it around as shown.
Repeat the process on the other end.



Finally, bend both loops down just a little bit with finger.
And Voila~
You now have a nice little ring that will look great on fingers or toes.
