Rings instead of bracelets?

So not many people may like bracelets because they get in the way, sliding up and down their wrist..... Well here's a solution!!!! A friendship ring :D Its the same as making a friendship bracelet, but less time and materials are required. All you need in addition are needles and thread!!!

Instructions:

1. Set up your string as you would for making a friendship bracelet, but less is needed
2. Commence you bracelet pattern
3. Work until the bracelet is long enough to wrap around your finger
4. Flip the bracelet to the "wrong" side (aka. the ugly side) and fold inhalf so that both ends meet
5. Using your needle and thread, sew a little inwards from the border
6. Cut of the excess string
7. Flip the ring inside out so that the sewn part is hidden and the "right" side (aka. pretty side) is facing outward

Your done!!!!!!!!! :D
