-DIY Paper Clip Ring Tutorial NO TOOLS NECESSARY
So today I'm going to show you how to make some funky rings with the paper clips and absolutely
no tools. Of course you can use a round form for to make it more round but if you want to make it
with no tools at all you can just go ahead and take your paper clip and open it up and you want
to go slowly because you don't want to stress the bends of the wire so you're just going to go around
like really slowly to straighten it out just around like that and this too. You can do this
with the bigger paper clips it's going to be a lot more difficult without tools because the big paper
clips are very very stiff so today we'll just do it with the little paper clip and if you want to
try with the big ones you certainly can too. So we're just going to bring that around like that.
Now if you want to make your own little tool to help with some of the bending you can just take
this paper clip. I'm not going to worry too much about making the bends perfect so we're just going
to bring that here and then what you would do to make your own tool is you just take it on this end
and just bend this around a few times so just one two three and it makes like a kind of a
spring thing and that will end up being a bit of a tool. So now if you want to form the round part
like I said you can wind it around a marker if you want but if you absolutely have no tools at all
you're just going to have to go around slowly and just use your fingertip to bring it around to make
it round. Now this is going to take a little bit of practice it's not easy to get an even turn but
you know once it's on your finger you're not going to notice it too much either so just keep like
going around slowly slowly is the best way to do it to get it somewhat round somewhat even and just
keep going around until you think think it's sort of the right size for your finger and then you can
try it on it will put it on that finger like that and then just to make like attach it together make
sure you have it in the right place you can either bend it up and then around or you can just take
these two and kind of twist them sideways so we're just going to go like that and twist it kind of
sideways now if you want to go ahead and just like break them off there to make a little bit
of a knot you can just like wind it back and forth and just break them off and have them end there
but if you want to actually make a little bit of a design you can just keep winding these around so
just bring this around bring these little ends around and now at that point you can use your
tool you can just get your tool and just kind of bend it around and then that helps to make it
more round we're just going to bring it around here bend it around and around and then the same
thing on this side we're going to go in here and we're just going to bend it you can do this part
in any way you want if you want it you know tight more a tight spiral or if you want a looser spiral
it's totally up to you the idea is just to kind of slowly slowly bring it in and start winding the
ends in and then once you have it like the direction you want just keep kind of bending it
because you do want this end to be bent in a little bit so we're just going to keep bending it
in a little bit so it's just going to be in there and so once you have these ends so they're bent
a little bit on an angle then you can kind of push them in place we're just going to bring that one
there and you want it flush with that end so it's not pokey so this one you can just kind of squeeze
it in a little bit here and then this one you can just bring it in here you can end it there if you
want that looks really cool or you could bring it in a more to the other side but for that one we're
just going to leave it like that so that makes a cute little ring and then i also have this one
that i bent the ends more on an angle and then this one too where i bent they were not quite
as much they're more open like that
