Make It // Colorblock Wood Ring

Hi friends! I have a quick & simple DIY for you today!
I'm loving bright colors with neutral tones/wood so for today's Make It 
I'm going to share how to make a colorblock ring (and other things)! 
Let's get started! 
You will need:
wood nickel
paint
paint brush
ring base
glue
painter's tape
With your painter's tape you will want to cover the wood nickel where 
you don't want it painted. Paint the exposed wood and let it dry!
 Once it's dry peel off the tape. 
Again, tape where you don't want painted and paint the exposed
 wood nickel. Do this with each color you do.
I did 3 colors and here is my completed colorblock wood nickel! 
Now it's time to turn it into a ring.
I use E-6000 to glue my ring base onto the wood nickel.
 You can find ring bases at most local hobby shops.
Not a ring person? Here are a couple more uses:
Add a pin back to your wood nickel and you have a pin to wear! 
These are so fun, easy and addictive to make! 

Happy Making!

  2. SO cute. I really like them as magnets. And if you're making them assembly-line style, you could bust out a TON in one sitting. I love that.

  4. I've made some similar to these...yours are so so cute! That reminds me, do you seal yours with anything or just leave the paint/wood as is?
