Materials:
- Faux leather/leather gloves
- Flat back rhinestone gem
- Strong craft glue such as E6000
- Thin soft bristled paintbrush
- Liquid gilding
- Clear glaze or nail polish
Instructions:
1.) Choose a finger to create your "ring" on. For a bride, put the ring on the second finger on the left hand (the ring finger.) Wipe the leather to remove any dust, etc. After mixing the liquid gilding, carefully paint the ring's band in your desired width. Let dry for at least an hour. Add a clear glaze or nail polish over the band once dry.
2.) Turn the glove over and continue painting the band on the reverse side. Let dry for at least an hour. Again, if you're adding a layer of clear glaze or nail polish, do so after it dries.
3.) Glue the rhinestone. Let dry overnight.
