P.S. if you like my idea, hit vote! appreciation means a lot to me :)

Step 1: Supplies!

You will need:

Quilling paper strips(can be purchased from the market, or you can cut long strips of paper about a centimeter wide, 25 cm long.)

Quilling needle (You can use a toothpick if you don't have one.)

Crafts wire

Pliers

Paper glue

Rubber solution/ Rubber based glue

Step 2: Choose the Colour Scheme

Choose which two colours of the wing you want.

Take two strips for each colour.

Take one black strip for the body

Step 3: Quilling the Units- Winding the Paper Wings

Place the end of the paper strip into the quilling needle and tightly wrap the paper into a coil. Do this for all four wings.

Step 4: Quilling the Units- Winding the Paper Wings

After you wind the paper into a coil, hold it tightly.

As you loosen your grip, it unwinds.

Let the upper wing units unwind more than the lower section ones.

When you achieve the desired size of the unit, apply glue to the end of the paper and stick it to prevent the coil from unwinding more.

Step 5: Shaping the Wings

Pinch the circle to turn it into a half spindle like shape. Repeat for all four units.

Step 6: The Body of the Butterfly

Roll up the black paper only upto half it's length.

Pinch the rolled paper into a spindle shape.

Stick the wings as illustrated in the next step.

Step 7: The Butterfly

Step 8: The Wire Loop

Coil the wire around your finger to form a loop.

Twist the end of the loop.

Using pliers, give the wire outside the loop a prong like shape as in the picture.

Step 9: Putting the Ring Together!

Place the "prongs" of the wire into the gap between the butterfly's body and wings.

Fill in rubber solution in that gap after doing so.

Step 10: Done!

Now go flaunt your beautiful ring!
