wrapped
Luv AJ spike knucklebuster $150 {here}
the second i lay eyes on this magical, spiky, wire-wrapped two-finger ring i was smitten...buuut i wasn't really in the market to spend that much on a ring i didn't think i would wear that much...SOO {insert brilliant exclamation!} i decided to make-an-afternoon of it an Do-It-my{Yourself}!!! below, the inspiration versus the MINE!! read on for details!!
YOU WILL NEED:
wire
{lots, all kinds, any kind - just make sure it's bendable with your fingers}
spikes w/ SCREWbacks
{!! one for each 'ring' -- or more if you so choose!}
scissors, screwdriver
ya know...tools...
here is my spikes + wire...so once you have everything together...wrap some wire around your finger {to whatever size ya like} about 5 or 6 times, securing the ends of the wire by wrapping it around the bundle
my ring wraps...after you've got your rings figured out pick a spot to add your spike...just screw the spike in in the middle of all the wrapped wires...
like so! then cut a piece of wire pretty long to wrap around the entire ring {also securing the spike to the wrapped wire} and wrap, wrap, wrap, w r a p . . . .
and wrap and wrap and wrap the other ring...then wrap the two together!!
voila!
yumm.
also look out early may for a first look at my etsy store alex marie designs!! enjoy!!! xo

wish
Wish on everything. Pink cars are good, especially old ones. And stars of course, first stars and shooting stars. Planes will do if they are the first light in the sky and look like stars. Wish in tunnels, holding your breath and lifting your feet off the ground. Birthday candles. Baby teeth. -FLB
big wishes, even bigger changes. appreciating all the little things in my life. xo
