Phoenix Flower Ring

Bright, bold, sparkly and floral this is the perfect summer cocktail ring.  Orange and pink are such fun colors, you can't have a bad time when wearing orange and pink!

 

This ring is easy to make.  The band is made of Soft Flex.  The base flower is a button and works up wonderfully as a ring.

Step 1:

Make the 16 flower stamen dangles.  Do this by feeding one red topaz crystal, one seed bead, one raspberry tulip bead and three more seed beads onto a head pin and turn a simple loop.  Repeat to make a total of 16 dangles.

Step 2:

Cut four 1 foot pieces of Soft Flex.  On each piece of Soft Flex strung one seed bead, one flower dangle, one seed bead, one flower dangle, one seed bead, one flower dangle, one seed bead, one flower dangle and end with one seed bead.

Feed the four Soft Flex strands through the button holes.  Feed one crimp onto each bundle of four Soft Flex strands.  Crimp one side, pull the Soft Flex tight as you can (to unsure the flower stamens stand up) and crimp the second crimp.

Step 3:

Cut off two of the four strands from each bundle.  Onto one bundle string; three seed beads, one crimp eighteen seed beads, one crimp  and three more seed beads.  Feed the unbeaded bundle through the strung beads.  The two Soft Flex bundles should be going through the beads in opposite directions.  The tail should come out before the crimped crimps.  Pull the tail tight and crimp the remaining two crimps.

The End!
