Stacking rings are super fun to wear! And these beaded rings are a great jewelry craft to do with kids or as a girls’ night project. They’re so quick and easy, everyone can go home with a stack!

Materials & Tools
28-30 faceted rondelles, 2mm*
Beading cord, elastic (like Stretch Magic)
Jeweler’s glue (optional)
Strip of paper

Steps
1. To determine your ring size, wrap a thin strip of paper around your finger and trim. Then stretch out the strip of paper to use as a guide.

2. Cut a 6” piece of the elastic beading cord. Feed the beads onto the beading cord (be careful not to let the beads slide off the other end of the cord!). Periodically hold the beaded strand up to the strip of paper to see if it’s long enough. Keep adding beads until the beaded section of the cord is the same length as the strip of paper.

3. Tie the ends of the elastic cord together using two overhand knots (pull super tight against the beads). If you’d like, add a dab of jeweler’s glue to the knot to secure it. Then trim the ends of the cord as close to the knot as possible.

*For larger beads, like 3mm or 4mm, you’ll need fewer beads.
