I used 18G 1/4" bright aluminum and bronze rings, a couple of wire ties and a stainless steel clasp. The two colors not only help with the instruction but also adds to the design. The bronze rings will patina to a darker color. Otherwise this piece is low maintenance and inexpensive to make.
This voiceless video was the first one I ever made. The rings are not always closed as well as they should as I was concentrating on not knocking the camera over! But you'll get the idea.
