How to make your own wedding ring
Wait, hold on, yes…I know that sounds highly suspicious. I honestly do. I can almost see your mind whirring away there: well that’s ridiculous, have you ever heard such a stupid thing!? Wait a minute, NO! Truth be told that if I was in your shoes I’d probably be thinking the exact same thing…(If I wasn’t me, of course).
But just hang on a minute will you? Let me explain? Thank you. Just sit back and read as it all becomes clear…
Firstly, this isn’t some silly tutorial where I show you how to take a piece of old bark off an ancient tree and turn it into something which would make a celebrity with loads of cash jealous. This is, in fact, a legitimate way to make a fairly decent-looking ring into something AMAZING LOOKING.

What it is not, however, is the ideal solution. This idea works best for someone who wants to give a temporary wedding ring while they seek out the amazing, beautiful one which the bride so patiently waits for.
Here is how it works, in three simple steps which anyone should be able to follow quite easily.
1) Check your partner doesn’t have an aversion to 24 carat gold. If they do then you might want to re-think this idea, my friend! (The last thing you want, as you place the ring on their finger, is to see them collapse and have a fit, right?)
2) Assuming they don’t have that aversion, find yourself a ring. It doesn’t have to be the world’s most beautiful wedding ring , don’t worry – it can be tatty looking and even really old. The point is that what we’re about to do to it next will have magic results. Seriously, it will! It will boggle your mind, make no mistaking!
3) Now you’ll need to go online and purchase some 24 carat gold leaf and some gold size. Gold size is the glue which you put gold leaf on with. When it arrives follow the instructions to leaf your ring: simply brush the glue on and leave for eight hours then apply the gold smoothly wish a soft mop brush. The result? A stunning, incredible looking ring. Be sure to lacquer it if you want it to go the distance – if you don’t lacquer it then eventually the gold will wear off and you’ll be found out when the original ring is exposed underneath!
