Funky Fixes: Stretch Rings

Funky Fixes: Stretch Rings

Did you know that your fingers can change sizes throughout the day? No, they won’t grow a few inches longer, but they may swell up. If you wear rings, you may have noticed this before. Sometimes your ring slides on easily, while other times it refuses to come off. There are multiple theories as to why our fingers swell: dehydration, lack of electrolytes, and changes in body temperature. Don’t worry; there is no need to sound the medical alarm, but this could be cause for frustration when trying to determine your ring size. Luckily, jewelry makers have caught on. Stretchy rings are a popular new trend. Stretchy rings come in a variety of styles and colors; my favorites are over sized flowers and unusual animals– so fun! These rings are very versatile and fit almost every finger size. In addition to fitting any size finger, stretchy rings fit an array of other objects; this is where the funky fix comes in. Stretchy rings can also be used as napkin rings!

Whether you are hosting a large dinner party or having a few friends over for appetizers and drinks, this is a great way to add pizazz to the décor. Decorative napkin rings are a great addition to any table setting and can even be sent home with guest as gifts. Not sure how to properly fold napkins? Learn how!
