Glow in Dark Ring & Pendant
Introduction: Glow in Dark Ring & Pendant
Hello makers.
Recently I bought Glow in dark Powder for some other project.
after that project completion, I have extra powder for use.
Then idea strike in mind to use that powder in making of Glow in dark jewelry.
so, i make this Ring and pendant set using that Material.
Now begin to make this Instructables.
Gather all Supplies and Let's start making.
Supplies
1> Plywood or Solid wood
2> Cutting tool
3> Surface finish Tools( die grinder set ,Sand Papers)
4> Wood Polish
5> Glow in dark powder
6> colour Acrylic Flakes
7> Feviquick adhesive / Fevicol Adhesive
8>Paper cutter
Step 1: Preparing Wooden Piece for Ring Shape
* Cut Appropriate size of wooden Piece from Wooden block .
* After separating the block , check Flatness of all sides.
* If it is not flat, use a file to flatten surfaces.
Step 2: Measurement for Internal Diameter of Ring.
* First take your finger measurement for the internal diameter of the Ring. Example : my finger diameter is 16mm .
* Draw a circle of 16 mm from the centre of the block. This indicates we need a 19 mm hole for perfect fit in our fingers.
Step 3: Mark Outer Diameter and Remove Material.
* Take same centre of internal circle and draw outer circle of diameter of 26 mm .(it affects ring thickness.Draw as per your need)
* Outer circle is out ring boundary, other material outside of outer circle will be removed by using wooden File or Rough Sanding or Cutting.
Step 4: Make an Internal Hole.
* Starting From smaller drill like 3 mm to drill the internal circle.
* Gradually increase drill size till 16 mm.
* If you don't have a 16 mm drill in your Set ,use a Die grinder to remove material .
Step 5: Making Groove on Top Surface
* I use Die grinder and a grinding tool for making a groove on the top surface.
* Grinding Tool diameter is 10mm and thickness of cutting surface is 5mm.
* For Finer Semi circular groove ,I use Metal Spherical Grooving tool to make an Exact semi spherical Groove .
Step 6: Make Outer Ring Grooves
* For the outer groove I use a cylindrical grinding tool.
* Use cylindrical tool orientation 45 degree to groove on outer Grooves.
* Make 10 to 12 grooves as per your tool & ring size.
Step 7: Acrylic Flakes + Glow in Dark Material
* For acrylick flakes I use a paper cutter to make small pieces from acrylic flakes.
* You can purchase glow in dark powder from Hardware stores or online sites.
* I mix up Acrylic Flakes and Glow in dark material with Feviqick adhesive to fill in grooves.
* This mixture takes time to be Solid. place in sunlight for faster solidification.
Step 8: Final Finish
* For final Finish i use 400 grade sandpaper to sand out extra material and make proper shape of ring.
* Apply Wooden polish for better finish of wood .
* Wait for wooden Polish to dry.
* Your Ring is ready to wear.
Step 9: Make Pendent
* For pendant cut rectangle pieces with dimension 58mm x 34mm x 6mm.
* Smoothen edges using Sand Papers.
* Make inner depth to fill material of 3 mm and size of 45 x 28x3 mm using cutting tools.
* Use material made in step-7 to fill the inside pendant.
* It takes time to dry in sunlight.
* Make 2 drills side by side with a pendant for chain.
* For Final Finish Follow Step-8 .
* Use chain for wear pendant.
Step 10: Final Product Testing
After Final Finish we get a Ring and Pendant ready to wear. 401
