No outfit is complete without accessories and if you want to create great impact with minimal fuss, you can’t beat a ring! And they're easier to make than they look...

First you need to kit yourself up, so get down to your local craft shop or (who are we kidding?) get googling for craft supplies:

You’ll need 1mm thick jewellery wire plus a pair of small pliers (if you don't want to cough up for a pair, go find an old person who's into DIY. They’re bound to have a pair shoved into the back of a drawer somewhere!)

Snip a short length of wire, and then thread on a couple beads. Twist the wire around your finger to fit, or (top tip here) find a marker pen the same width as your ring finger and fit it round that.

Twist the wire round once, twice or several times, depending on what effect you’re after. You can shape the wire to create a heart shape – or spirals – or the first letter of your name maybe? Get twisting, and see what you come up with!

If you want to be really flash, try threading a gemstone through your wire. You can buy tiny gems in boxes online or individually from crystal shops (you know those places called ‘Mystic Gems’ or ‘Sheila’s Charms’? Very popular with emos and student backpackers). Just make sure the gem stones come with a hole in them or you’ll be weeping into your wire.

Have a play, and see what beautiful jewellery you can make. Snip, twist and twiddle (which sounds like a yoga pose no-one should try). We promise your ring will turn out as unique - and chic - as you are.

If you want more ideas, YouTube will see you right. Here’s a cool ring-making video we found. Happy crafting!
