How To Make A Spoon Ring

<p>Do you think it’s impossible to make an original ring at home? You are mistaken! Apparently, you can find a lot of old waste things that may come in handy. For instance, some old forks, spoons, knives that you haven’t been using for a long time but didn’t get rid of. Here’s an idea concerning how to make an original ring of some old elegant tableware.</p> <p><strong>You will need the following:</strong></p> <ul><li> Any old forks, knives, spoons with nice handles. This will be the basis of your ring. It will be much better if you got silver ones;</li><li> A cutter for metal or a hacksaw;</li><li> Pliers;</li><li> Sandpaper;</li><li> A sheet of thin paper;</li><li> A pen.</li></ul> <p><strong>Get down to business:</strong></p> <p>1. First, make a decision about what kind of rings you want to make. You can choose between two types: the one that sort of wraps your finger, or the one that has one end hidden. This is what the length of the billet depends on.</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/LHsesRKgOf5U3BvW0lmMx6A1DpI=/62b09094ccdb445489b9620480cda2f9"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/LHsesRKgOf5U3BvW0lmMx6A1DpI=/62b09094ccdb445489b9620480cda2f9" data-image="26224"></a></figure> <p>2. At the second stage you are to choose a suitable piece of tableware, which you will make your ring of.</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/_79xGyjJelTP7SdqwK3_ZkGv4es=/71fe7cca19f84aa28c32ff8750c09c55"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/_79xGyjJelTP7SdqwK3_ZkGv4es=/71fe7cca19f84aa28c32ff8750c09c55" data-image="26225"></a></figure> <p>3. Take a paper strip and wrap it around your finger that you will wear the ring on. Mark with a pen the spot where one end of the strip crosses the other one. If you’ve chosen the second type add 6 mm. and put a mark. And if you’ve chosen the first type you don’t need to add anything.</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/lRYwW5Lt-aupcYytEdQSmTLJ_BU=/464f9b818c39460abc09c3bd43a79e65"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/lRYwW5Lt-aupcYytEdQSmTLJ_BU=/464f9b818c39460abc09c3bd43a79e65" data-image="26226"></a></figure> <p>4. Make a billet for the ring using the strip of paper. Cut the handle of the fork with a cutter or a hacksaw.</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/xstRLM_yugBzkk0w1Z78yG0ELZE=/3dc8bf16497d46cbbdb28edd59a35a6b"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/xstRLM_yugBzkk0w1Z78yG0ELZE=/3dc8bf16497d46cbbdb28edd59a35a6b" data-image="26227"></a></figure> <p>5. Sandpaper the cut edge of the fork to make it smooth and to prevent yourself from getting hurt wearing the ring.</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/hvdpnR1jYwpa3hWbG_MftgfjQxA=/79afc373b2b94c4186adf86b923fac65"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/hvdpnR1jYwpa3hWbG_MftgfjQxA=/79afc373b2b94c4186adf86b923fac65" data-image="26228"></a></figure> <p>6. At the next stage you are to bend the billet carefully using the pliers. If the fork is made of silver it won’t be a problem to bend it.</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/e1PTLYtgKlhTg8Ze1hLC9qK-LBA=/8ec036b30dd54a43bd82b8254b3d9398"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/e1PTLYtgKlhTg8Ze1hLC9qK-LBA=/8ec036b30dd54a43bd82b8254b3d9398" data-image="26229"></a></figure> <p>7. You should get something like this in the result.</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/k_9oRM-HhXYcJAXHhu3-uvVEoIA=/ee6555d8334049b685d15f732c1c3fb9"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/k_9oRM-HhXYcJAXHhu3-uvVEoIA=/ee6555d8334049b685d15f732c1c3fb9" data-image="26230"></a></figure>
