If you’re a fan of snakes then you’ll love this tutorial on how to make a snake ring! This ring is made out of a metal wire and is coiled up to resemble a snake. You can make this ring as simple or as detailed as you want and you can even add beads to the coils to make it more unique.
To make this ring you’ll need:
-A metal wire (I used 18 gauge)
-A wire cutter
-A mandrel (or anything else that’s cylindrical that you can wrap the wire around)
-A hammer
-A file
-A drill
-Beads (optional)
First cut a piece of wire that’s about 8 inches long. Then use your mandrel to wrap the wire around it until you have a coil that’s about 1/4 inch wide. Once you have your coil use your hammer to flatten it out a bit.
Next take your file and start smoothing out the edges of the coil. You want to make sure that there are no sharp edges so that it’s comfortable to wear. Once you’ve smoothed out the edges use your drill to make a hole in the center of the ring.
If you’re adding beads string them onto the wire before you make the coil. Then when you wrap the wire around the mandrel the beads will be in the center of the ring.
Once you’ve made the hole carefully remove the ring from the mandrel. If it’s too tight you can use a pair of pliers to gently loosen it. And that’s it! Your snake ring is now finished.
