Resize a class ring with floss.
Class rings not only serve as a reminder of good times in high school or college, they may also serve as symbols of something more. Young couples often exchange their class rings as a sign of affection toward one another. The exchange tells others the couple is serious and that both parties are taken. Of course, young women may have a hard time getting their boyfriends' rings to fit. One solution is to wrap the underside of the ring with floss. You can use embroidery floss the same color as the stone to make the ring look more cohesive or simply use dental floss if that's what you have on hand. The process is very similar to wire wrapping rings or making the edges of an embroidery floss button.
Instructions
1. Cut a length of floss as long as your arm. This should be more than enough to make the ring fit.
2. Place about ½ inch of one end of the floss against the inside of the bottom of the ring. The floss should be parallel with the edges of the ring. Hold this piece in place with the thumb of your non-dominant hand and wrap the rest of the floss a few times around the bottom of the ring, making sure the end against the ring stays beneath the wrappings.
3. Continue wrapping, making sure your wrapped section isn't more than about ½ an inch wide on the band. The goal is to make the floss layers thick enough that the ring will stay on your finger.
4. Try the ring on every three or four layers. When you can shake your hand without the ring falling off, the layer is thick enough. Snip the floss and glue the end down with some white glue.
5. Change the floss approximately every two weeks to prevent it from getting dirty and moldy. Simply cut through the strands with the tip of some scissors and wrap it up again as in steps 1 through 4.
