I love beaded rings but have had a hard time finding an easy bead pattern for making them. A while back I found an auction for some bags of a dozen or so stone cabochons. From the picture, it looked like a couple were amber, so I dropped a bid on it, for all of $4.00. I didn't read any fine print, didn't wonder why a nice bag of cabochons would be so inexpensive. I also didn't look at the size of them; I just assumed they would be of the one or two inch long variety, like we bead around to make necklaces and brooches. Well, I was wrong. When I opened my package, my shoulders slumped in disappointment. I though "these aren't what I was hoping for, these are the size you use to make beaded rings."
Then the light bulb went off! Duh! Right in front of me was a sample piece of "Lacey's Stiff Stuff". This is a new product to me, but I have become very fond of it in a very short time. I thought "Stiff Stuff" would be too thick and messy to used for a ring cab, but I decided to give it a try. Sure enough, it was wonderful. Easy to use, easy to cut, easy to sew through. This stuff is a dream! I recommend it highly.
Here are the Complete Instructions for creating this little gem.
