I make jewelry out of wire and found items and I always have guys ask if I have anything for them. Watching your video has given me plenty of ideas. Thanks. I do have one suggestion. You could make the rings adjustable by adding the elastic to the bottom just as you did when you connected the belt loops for the bracelets. I am going to try that and let you know what happened.
