Locket Ring Tutorial {and then some extra goodies}

Locket Ring Tutorial and other DIY Rings

I went to Michael's {my home away from home} today with no clue what I would be getting for my next project.  I decided to would wait for inspiration as I walked the isles.  As soon as I hit the jewelry isle I was "inspired" to create this Locket Ring Tutorial.

I love lockets,

and I love rings,

so whats not to love about a locket ring?!

And then I couldn't help but throw a few extra goodies in my cart to create a whole family of fun statement rings to share with you!

Let's get started.

Here's what you will need:

Blank ring bases {purchased at Michael's in the jewelry isle,

see package in above picture}

Any fun jewelry embellishments/locket you want to use on your rings {try Michaels, or any thrift store}

A picture of your favorite person to go inside your locket

Glue gun and hot glue

Scissors

Pencil

I am the world's worst tracer and cutter, so I did the best I could, and when the picture didn't fit perfectly in the locket I just glue gunned it into place.

Disregard my janky cutting job.

I used hot glue, but you may want to try other forms of glue {i.e. crazy glue, something water proof, etc} to make your ring more secure.

Be sure to press your locket and ring base together after glueing.  I suggest holding it in placce for about a minute.

And there you have it!

Too cute, right.

Open it up and you get a sneak peek at infant Baby W.

And now on to the extra goodies:

Here are the "extra" ring embellishments I picked up {at Michael's}
