Ten Minute Toe Rings

Skill Level: Beginner/All

With Spring approaching these fast and easy toe rings are great for the beginner and can be made in as little at ten minutes.

Materials

• 6.5 inches - 20 gauge craft wire. You can also use any other 20 gauge wire you have available. End pieces are great for this pattern. Color of choice.
• 3, 4mm swarovski crystals or small beads - color of choice

Tools

• Round Nose Pliers
• Chain Nose Pliers
• Wire Rounder
• Small mandrel or any other "round" object. In this case, I used a small tube of chapstick.

Instructions

1. Cut 6 1/2 inches of wire. Round ends with wire rounder.
   
2. Make a loop at the end of the wire and hold against mandrel (lip balm in my case)
   
   
3. Wrap around the mandrel (or tube of chapstick) until the wire meets. Take round-nose pliers and loop the wire back on itself.
   
   
4. String your crystals or beads on the wire, then continue to wrap around the mandrel until it meets the other wire again. Loop the wire back on itself as before and wrap around the mandrel.

   
   

5. Trim if necessary to make a loop in the end of the wire. You may need to pinch the wires together to prevent the crystals from sliding, or even put a wrap in the ends if needed. I put a little kink at the end of the crystals to hold them in place.
   
   
   
6. After you've pinched the wires together, you may need to size the ring. Try them on your toe and make adjustments on your mandrel. Multiple sizes can be made and each ring can easily be adjusted.
   
   
7. Congratulations! You've made your first Ten Minute Toe Rings.
