If you're like me, you don't like to wash the dishes or fix your appliances with your nice rings on. I've seen a ton of really great ring holder DIYS on Pinterest lately & they have inspired me to create this new steampunk DIY. To make one of your own, here's what you'll need:
- Scissors
- An awl
- A pencil
- Small cup hook (generally you want one with a 1/4" screw)
- Small picture frame
- Small piece (or scrap) of scrapbook paper
- Glue Stick
- Paper/poster board watch face (mine is upcycled from an old pocketwatch; but you can also print your own from the Graphics Fairy)
- Open your picture frame and take out the paper & glass. Set glass aside for a future project or as a future replacement. Use the paper to trace the shape you need to fill the frame on your scrapbook paper.
- After you've finished tracing your shape, cut it out with your scissors.
- Next, glue your scrapbook shape onto the back of your frame.
- Then glue your watch face in the middle of your frame onto the scrapbook piece.
- Allow your glue to dry completely. (Approximately 5 minutes.) Create a small starter hole using your awl in the center of your watch face. Be sure not to create a large or wide hole because your cup hook screw will fall out.
- After you've made your starter hole, begin twisting your cup hook in place.
- You've done! Proudly hang your ring on the hook anytime you're rolling up your sleeves & doing dirty work! As always, Happy Crafting!
