DIY – Ring Bling
I’ve been trying to clean up the little bits and pieces of jewelry that I’ve collected over the years…turning broken or old things into something new. Single earrings can make for a great ring…
I had this old clip-on earring from a lot of jewelry my husband came across…I used it as a brooch a few times, but I thought it might look cute as a cocktail ring. So I purchased a ring band from online, removed the earring clip, and hot glued the two together.
I could have stopped after glueing, but the rhinestones looked a bit beat up, and neon jewelry has been popping up all over the place…so I couldn’t resist but to paint some of the stones with bright nail polish.
Spoiler alert…after painting this ring and seeing images like this, I’ve since bought neon spray paint and dug out old necklaces to do a few more diy projects (I’ll share with you next week.) Bringing life to forgotten items kinda feels like getting a great score on a thrift trip…hope I don’t end up spray painting all my jewelry!
Very cute! If you don’t mind me asking, how much was the ring online?
I dont’ mind! The kind I got was about $5…http://www.artbeads.com/sp-ring02.html?icid=recpd.
Thanks! I have a lot of clip on earrings that I never use! Great idea!
What a great idea, to neon spray paint rhinestones! Will add that to my bag of tricks. Haven’t refashioned jewelry for a few months but will be getting back to it with all sorts of things to try!
you are so crafty! i love it!
Oh, I love this idea – I think I could actually manage it with the finger nail polish (I stink w/ spray paint)! Great project!
i love this, great idea.
Um, this is genius.
This looks awesome! PINNING!
