We offer the free emailable tutorial in Patterns & Kits for the JOANA RING by Anick Puca. The pattern is in French but Leslie Rogalski kindly translated the instructions in a page attached at the end. When I first sat down to start to put one together it occurred to me that the Swarovski #2035… Continue reading Our version of the lovely ‘Joana Ring’
Fun buttons come with lots of images, many with light-hearted and fun designs. They are resin topped in a metal base with a built-in shank on the back. Checkout our selection, there is something for everyone!

It’s been a while since we’ve done a ring tutorial here, and it’s about time for another one. The rings we’re showing you today are super easy, and extra adorable. We’ll be using Nunn Design’s Itsy Bezel rings, and you have the option of using either a diminutive button, or a two-hole cabochon, (or whatever you might have on hand to fill the bezel.

These rings look great on their own, but I think they’re even better when stacked, or when you wear multiple rings at once, and another option is to wear them on a chain instead of your fingers.

I promised I’d… Continue reading Burnished Cicada Ring | DIY Tutorial
One of my weaknesses is huge, chunky stone rings. I haven’t learned how to set stones yet, though, so I wasn’t sure how I could make my own. Then I remembered this amazing marbled polymer clay tutorial by Laura at A Beautiful Mess, and I wondered—could I make polymer clay faux-gemstones and bake them right into some… Continue reading Polymer Clay Gemstone Rings
