I have a new obsession - making stretch rings!
They are incredibly easy and fun to make.
It all started with two rings I purchased.
This first one from Gordman's, it's so comfortable.
See how it stretches......
The next I purchased from Hobby Lobby.
It was so pretty, yet seemed so simple to make, so you know I had to try it out for myself.
Now, I experimented with two different stretchy string materials.
The first was Stretch Magic, it's clear and has good elasticity.
The drawbacks are that it does not securely hold a tie very well - I had to use glue to make sure the tie stayed tied.
So, I then discovered this! Gossamer Floss!
I believe this is exactly what was used on the rings that I purchased.
The thread is so soft, super elastic, and it holds a secure knot that's almost unnoticeable when the ring is finished. If you're making stretch rings, this is the material you want.
I can't stop making them, they're very addicting.
The best thing about making stretch rings is that you don't have to be specific about sizing.
I'm off to make more!
