Olympic Rings

On July 24, 2012 by admin

For the second part of this series, I’m going to show you how to make a set of large rings that you can hang from your ceiling or walls. It makes for a great statement piece, one that your guests will definitely notice! 

You’ll need:

1. 5 pieces of poster board ($1.00 each at hobby lobby.  Look for sales, I got mine for 50 cents each.)

2. Scissors

3. Pizza pan or another large circular object (I also contemplated on using a large sun hat)

4. Smaller circular object such as a mixing bowel

5. Glue gun

6. Fishing line

7. Gold spray paint

8. Marker or pen

Step 1

Using your pizza pan, trace out a large circle on your poster board. Next, place your smaller circular object in the middle of your large circle. I just eyed this but you could use a ruler to be more exact. Once you’ve got it lined up correctly, trace your smaller circle.

Step 3

Cut out your circles, so that your left with a ring.

Step 4

Once you’ve created 5 rings, spray paint each side with your gold paint.

Step 5

Once dry, line your rings up so  they resemble the Olympic rings.

(Don’t mind the stick, I actually created a smaller version to use as glasses in the photo booth as well. These were a bit easier to photograph.)

Step 6

Once you’ve got them lined up, use generous amounts of hot glue and glue your rings together.

Step 7

Using fishing line, hang them from the ceiling for a great statement piece!
