Itty Bitty Ring

Throughout this photo shoot, George kept reminding me that my hands looked like claws. I have no future as a hand model. I clamp everything with a death grip and getting just one ladylike photo out of this shoot was painful. I also never get manicures because I pick off all my nail polish. One chip and it’s over. My hands will be polish free in an hour. Death grips and compulsive polish picking. I am a gem.

Ok, so I’m not really a gem, but this ring is! I created this ring with my second For The Makers kit. For the Makers is a DIY subscription service that sends small (girly) projects to your door each month. You can read about my past experiences with For the Makers here.

It definitely wasn’t the easiest excursion into jewelry making. Tying the elastic for this ring was down right difficult. Almost as difficult as making my hands look elegant.

The kit can be bought here and the directions are free on their website.

What subscription services of you love? Let me know in the comments!

Hey Melanie,
I know how hard it is to capture hands in a beautiful way (I’m a professional photographer… whenever I’m not renovating!). so maybe it’s just the photograhers (aka Georges) fault!
🙂
cute ring anyway!

Haha, I don’t think it’s his fault, but we can blame it on him so I feel better about myself 🙂 I think I’m just awkward!
