What you'll need - For the top of the ring:

12 brown bicone 4mm (BB)

4 honey bicone 4mm for the ring (HB)

10/0 Metal bronze seed bead (BSB)

for the length of your finger:

3 to 4 brown bicone 4mm (depending on your finger)

3 to 4 honey bicone 4mm (depending on your finger)

10/0 Metal bronze seed bead (

Nylon thread 0,30 or 0,35 (about 1m)

glue

1st step : Thread three brown bicones (BB) and pass both threads through the fourth BB ; then

thread 1 Honey bicones (HB) on each thread and pass both threads through the bronze Seed Bead

(BSB), then put 1 HB on each thread.

2nd step : Pass both threads through the first BB (at the top of he drawing as shown above), the

four HB and the BSB must be over the 4 BB now: this is your 3D center of the ring.

3rd step : Now, we'll bead the four loops around the ring. Begin by "1" (indicated in black below).

thread 1 BB, 1 BSB and 1 BB, then pass the tread back through the BB at the top of the center

ring, after that put the thread through the BB located on the right of the center ring (black thread

"2") and thread again 1 BB, 1 BSB and 1 BB, pass the thread back through the right center ring

BB, and then through the BB at the bottom of the ring, with the black thread, pass the thread

through one BB and through the BSB, then let the thread, and now go on with the red thread: from

“1”, (your thread comes out of the top center bead), pass the thread through the left center bead

(“3”) and thread 1 BB, 1 BSB and 1 BB, pass the thread through the left center bead and then

through the bottom center bead (“4”) and through 1 BB and the BSB, now you have both thread

(red and black) coming out of the bottom BSB.

4th step : If you pass the threads correctly, you must have a ring like this one:

5th and last step : Now, your thread come out from the “4” bottom BSB (3 rd step), but to make

thing easier the bottom bead has turned to be the left center bead on the drawing below. Thread 4

BSB on each thread and cross the thread through 1 BB, then thread gain 4 BSB on each thread and

cross the thread through 1 HB, alternate these two steps : 4 BSB and cross through 1 BB - 4 BSB

and cross through 1 HB, until you can pass you ring through your finger. Then cross both threads

through the right center BSB. Knot the threads one time, then glue it and knot the treads twice,

then pass the treads through several beads to hide them. Cut the threads.

YOUR RING IS DONE
