"Creativity takes a leap then looks to see where it is."
- Mason Cooley

1. Gather your colored felt. 2. Sketch out your flower or circle shapes on felt with a Sharpie marker. 3. Choose your button colors. 4. Cut a 3" strip of metal wire and bendy color coated wire. 5. Cut out your first and second felt layers in two different colors and shapes. 6. Poke two holes through your felt layers with your sturdy metal wire or paper clip. 7. Thread your bendy wire through your holes. 8. Lace your bendy wire through your felt layers and finally your button holes. 9. Take one side of your bendy wire and wrap it tightly around the other creating tension on the top of your button. Keep wrapping until it feels secure and then trim the excess bendy wire. 10. Shape the back of your ring into a circle and slide one on a finger.. or ten!
