DIY Dome Polish Ring

I received my Julep December box on the 1st and in the box was a DIY ring. Sadly, my ring was broken so I emailed them and they sent me a replacement! I was not very excited about the ring when they posted about it on facebook but after seeing a few done rings being posted  I really wanted to make one!

My DIY ring!

 I got the tiniest little Julep box today.

 Inside was my new ring!

 The before and after.

 For the look of my ring I taped up the bottom with striping tape.

 Using these lovely colors I painted the back over the tape.

You can use acrylic paint also.

 Let it dry.

When dry carefully tape off the tape. Because the back is so smooth you have to be careful to not pull off the polish with the tape. To help prevent that from happening try taking the tape off starting with the last tape you put on and go backwards. Also, like a band-aid you should take it off fast.

 After all the tape is off apply a coat or two of your next polish.

 Let it dry. 

Once completely dry place the dome button in the ring base and crimp the sides.

 I plan of maybe changing the background of my ring later so I didn't crimp all the sides down, I didn't want them getting weak and breaking over time.

Done and done, enjoy your ring!

I don't believe Julep is selling these, I think it was just a Julep Maven gift for the holidays but you can find ring bases & the button flat back domes on etsy and I'm sure crafts store.
