Metal Ball Chain Ring - DIY

       We have all ripped tags off of our new clothes and chucked it in the trash without a backwards glance. We are all guilty of this. I came to realize that sometimes these tags come with interesting little bits of ribbon, string, metal chains, etc. and I started wondering how I could reuse them. This DIY is the result of these thoughts.

       Here is what you'll need:


                              A Metal Ball Chain : This can be found most often on tags for jeans.

                                                                          AND

 Scissors or Wire Cutters: If using scissors make sure they won't be missed, as this project may damage them.


Project:


       First measure the chain around the finger of your choice. I recommend giving some space when you measure. You can always cut more off, but you cannot put more on. The line I marked is where I measured (plus some extra).


       Second, cut the chain to the measured length.



       Third, try the ring on for size. If it fits then you're done; if not then cut a metal ball off and try again. Continue until it fits. Now close the ring with the attached clasp and you're done!

Gotta Start Somewhere I Guess.

Normally I try to be organized and type what I'm going to write before I post something, it didn't happen as you will be able to tell. As a brand new blogger I hope to expose myself to new ideas and perspectives, also getting better at writing itself would be a primary goal.

As to what this blog will pertain....I'm just going to give it the old college try, as "they" say. DIYs will be imminent, book reviews, movie reviews, lots of fandom gushing, etc., etc. 

DIYs are going to be the main focus for this blog for the foreseeable future. To be prepared! 

All in all, I would appreciate some advice and support from all you who have made it this far through my rambling and incoherent post. I thank you.
