I bought a wrapped wire ring the other day, and after really looking at it I thought "well I can make that"...and with my friend Janis's help we tried to recreate it. I might need to file this under "bloopers" or something though - what seemed like a super simple project ended up taking us a couple hours and we never really did figure it out. We used 20 gauge copper wire, wrapped it around a ring sizer a few times, threaded the end of the wire up thru the whole thing and twisted it around to finished it. Sounds easy right? We wound and unwound the wire a bunch of times and just couldn't get it to look like the "real" one - I decided I had enough of trying to make it work and will play with it some more in the future. In the meantime, here's a look at what we did and if you decide to try it let me know if you have better luck with the finished product!
