journalbeaded memory wire rings
I whipped these up last night by threading size 15 seed beads (colour: heather mix) onto memory wire rings. I superglued the first and last bead onto the wire and that’s it! Memory wire is great - the resulting rings are adjustable to any size finger.

Thank your for your beaded ring tip - i stopped beading a while ago because i was mostly using stretchy cords and wanted to make something with wire but kind of got caught in knitting in the meantime - hope to return to beading some day soon (just got a book on using wire) - i tried making some wire bead rings for my stepmom (she had some from africa which she really liked) - first ones i made were made with too thin wire so came apart too easily - tried thicker wire which worked better but I really like your memory wire rings! i’ll try that next time –

Thank you for the tip on gluing the end beads in place. I had made one ring and turned the ends with my round pliers. It doesn’t make a nice finish for a ring. I’m going to try using the super glue.

Awesome rings! I have a question about the memory wire you used. The only memory wire ring size I can find where I live is too big for a ring, its more sized for wine glass charms or maybe a thumb ring…maybe. So what size/kind memory wire did you use and where did you buy it, if you don’t mind me asking.
