The materials to be used for the handmade rings are:

2. One (1) rondell shape handmade bead. Make sure that, it has a large hole so you can pull two (2) wires through easily.
3. Wire cutter
4. Chain-nose pliers
5. Ring mandrel with the desired diameter of the handmade accessories. Mandrels are sold in jewelry supply stores. If you are making several rings, then purchase several mandrels of different sizes.

If you start making and selling handmade rings and other handmade accessories, you will certainly have a lucrative business. The industry of handmade products is almost $15 billion and still growing according to the CODA survey. Such products are highly in demand due to their aesthetic value and exceptional features. These days, everything is similar and mass-produced. You will see that creatively made items are very rare. Nonetheless, a lot of individuals still like to enhance their personal styles and create personal statements. They want to stand out from the crowd. And what else can make them fashionable and unique other than handmade accessories?

When you are ready, begin with sliding one crimp onto the cord. Be careful not squash the crimp. Thread in the seed beads until the whole length of cord is covered but leave a space for the flat feature bead and for making a knot. Slide in the second crimp followed by the flat bead onto the nylon cord. To close the handmade ring, take one end of the nylon bead cord and insert it into the first crimp. Then tighten the ring by pulling both ends of the cord. As soon as your handcrafted ring has been formed, squash the crimps to secure the nylon bead cord. The excess nylon bead cord is cut as near as possible to the crimps to have a clean looking handmade ring.

The steps are so basic that even individuals with no experience in making handmade accessories can follow.
