Swoopy ring tutorial




I finally finished writing this tutorial for my swoopy ring. I was going to open an Etsy store and sell it there, but that seems like a lot of trouble since I might never get around to writing another tutorial. Besides, I've learned everything I know about making jewellery from generous folks on the web, so it's way past time that I should give something back.

All I ask is that you don't open a factory and start mass producing these rings. If you want to do that, email me and we'll talk.

    Thanks Penny, I started with one and before I knew it every bead I looked at was evaluated to see if it would make a ring!

    Thank you Margaret! Nice tutorial.
    Might want to change the name of the tool near the end. I think you are using round nose instead of needlenose to make those swoops. Just a heads up.
    Love the ring.

    Thank you Kathy. I've always called them "needle nosed" and didn't realize that the name referred to a different tool altogether. I will change the tutorial.
