Locking Washer Ring Tutorial!

Hello Guests!  If you are looking for the Multi-Colored Flower Washer Tutorial, it is below this Locking Washer Ring Tutorial!  Thank you for visting and hope to see you again soon!  Oh, & if you have time feel free to connect with following or leaving a comment!!
Tools you will need:
  • E-6000 or some type of metal bonding.
  • 1 Adjustable Ring Base.  Bought mine in a pack of 8 from Joann Fabrics.
  • 1 Regular Washer.  I believe this one is a small 7/8.  Should be just a tad bigger then your biggest Locking washer which is a 1/2.
  • 6 Locking Washers.  You will start with grabbing the 1/2 which will be your largest and work your way down in size each one being smaller and smaller in size with a total of 6! Bought all my Washers at ACE hardware.
  • Did not show picture, but a Q-Tip.
Now that you have everything, now it is time to have some fun!
  1. Take your 3/8 Reg. Washer and with your Q-Tip put the E-6000 around it.  Do not worry, it will not show at the end of your finished craft.
  2. Then take your 1/2 Locking washer and place on the glue.
  3. You will repeat steps with glue and the rest of the Locking washers from biggest to smallest to where it should look like you are building a peramid.
  4. Once you are done with that with the E-6000 glue the peramid you made with the washers to the Ring base.  Let dry upside down so the ring finger is upwards.
  5. When done it should look like this:

 
& if you want to be even more fancy you could use some Alchohol ink and turn it a different color!!!

Tutorial on Multi-Colored Flower Washer Necklace!

Things you will need:
  • Silver Crafting Wire
  • Colored Alcohol Ink
  • Small sponge
  • Suede Necklace Rope
  • 1
  • 1" Washer
  • 5 Smaller Washers.  I believe 3/8 size.  5 should fit all the way around 1" washer.
Steps:
  • Lay all your washers on cardboard or thick paper. 
  • You can use any alcohol ink of your choice.  I like to use Greens, Blue, Purples and Browns. 
  • After choosing colors you will then squeeze small amounts of the alcohol ink on the washers one color at a time and then use your sponge to blot it.  The colors will mix as you blot and will form a beautiful color pattern.  You can blot as much as you want until you get the color of your liking.
  • Once complete with the coloring of your washers, then let them dry for at least a half hour.
  • After Dry lay it out to form the flower in the pattern of your liking.
  • Once you lay out and figure out the pattern you want take your large washer and the first small washer and wire it around.  Once you feel that one is tight enough cut wire and proceed to the next washer and do the same for the last few.  When you are done it should look like the flower posted above. 
  • Now cut your suede necklace rope to your liking and loop it on your flower and you now have a really awesome flower necklace!!!
There you have it!!  Hope you had as much fun making this as I did!!!  If you liked my Blog please take time to become a follower!!!!  Thanks!!  Hope to see you again soon!!
