Make Beaded Rings with Flowers and Connectors

Super easy and incredibly cute. In these beautiful shades of green, you have a ring for every season. 

The principle of an elastic ring is really just stringing the beads on the elastic You measure the size around your own finger and when you're done stringing you make a double knot in the elastic. On the knot you put a little clear nail polish so your knot doesn't come loose. The only difference is connector or a flower in between. Read below what the materials and differences are for each ring.

Ring with star bead:
Freshwater pearls 3mm
Shell bead green star

Ring with butterfly: 
Butterfly connector 
Seed beads 4mm olive green

For this ring I start by making a double knot around one side of the butterfly and using nail polish to secure the knot. Then I continue threading but with both threads of elastic instead of one. When your ring is big enough you knot it to the other wing as you did in the beginning.

Ring white flowers:
Miyuki seed beads Ceylon ivory pearl white
Opaque luster kaki

Ring big flower:

Watch the video for the beading flowers technique:

Between the flowers you can string as many beads as you like. For example, these rings have 2 or 3 beads between the flowers but you can also string just one.
