TUTORIAL:

Butterfly Ring

By inge

Uploaded on: Feb 15, 2009
Level: Intermediate
Price: $5.00
Description:

This lesson shows how to make a Butterfly Ring. The butterfly shape was adapted from Carolyn Baum’s Jig-formed Butterfly Pendant tutorial.
However I used round nose pliers and hand instead of Jig as it will form a smoother shape for smaller piece.

Special thanks to Carolyn Baum http://www.cbeadsandbuttons.com/) for allowing me creating this tutorial.

Pre-requisite: coiling and weaving technique

Price: $5.00
