Keep Your Rocks On Display, Make Your Own Clay Ring Holders!

I love rings, and I have many more rings then I could ever wear at once. If you’re like me and you want your ring collection to stay on display so you can admire them all the time why not make yourself some ring holders? These ring holders are made out of air dry clay. Using clay gives you lots of scope for creativity, make your holders in any shape you like. This tutorial shows you the steps to make a simple ring holder.

You will need the following tools and materials to make a clay ring holder:

1: Air dry modelling clay.

I used this terracotta colored Fimo air dry clay; however this DAS terracotta air dry clay will give a similar effect!

2: Some scrap paper or baking paper to work on (this clay can get a little messy).

Here are the steps for making a simple clay ring holder:

1: Take a portion of clay out of the package to work with.

2: Work the clay with your hands for a while so that it become easier to form into shape without any cracks.

3: Once your clay has become more pliable, roll it between your hands to form a slight cone shape. Make sure the cone is thin enough at the for you to fit your rings on. Make sure that the bottom of the cone is wide enough to stop your rings from falling off completely!

4: Make the base of your ring holder flat by carefully pressing it against your work surface so that it can stand on its own. Once you’ve got the basic shape you can add some decorative elements to your ring holders. I decided to keep these ones quite plain.

5: That’s it! How easy was that? Once you have formed all the shapes that you want, place the holders in a safe place, maybe out in the sun so they can dry.

6: Once your ring holder is dry (it may take a couple of days for your clay to dry completely) it is ready to use! You can also paint your ring holders with acrylic paint to add an extra element of style. I painted these holders using turquoise and gold colored acrylic paint.
