How to Make Toe Rings

The interest in toe rings is gaining in popularity. Believed to originate in India, toe rings have been customarily worn to symbolize marriage by females. Today, toe rings can be worn by both women and men and are a nice addition to sandal clad feet. Adornment of the feet by jewelry is sometimes looked upon as uncomfortable or annoying, but you can create toe rings that are beautiful and not cumbersome. A few simple materials are all that is needed. The following steps will show you an affordable and creative way to make toe rings to fit any toe size, without requiring any fine jewelry making skills.

Instructions

Things You'll Need:
Elastic
Small beads

Step 1
Cut a piece of elastic about three inches long. The elastic can be any color that will complement your beading.

Step 2
Add your beads to the elastic by sliding them towards the center. If you are choosing a special bead to be the center focal point, slip that bead on first.

Step 3
Follow the first bead with additional beads of your choice. Remember that a toe is small so only a few beads will be necessary.

Step 4
Tie both ends of the elastic together, after you have finished your bead design.

Step 5
Stretch your toe ring over the toe that you want to adorn with your new toe ring, with knotted side facing under the foot.

Tips & Warnings

Remember that you want your toe ring to be comfortable. Try to arrange the beads so they sit on top of the toe, and not in between the toes or underneath.

Be sure to make your toe ring big enough to stretch over your toe easily. A toe ring that is too tight can be uncomfortable and inhibit proper circulation.
