Create your Ring using Paper

Introduction

This open toolkit focuses on personal storytelling through paper ring making, which is designed for anyone interested in exploring the intersection of contemporary art and personal expression. This process encourages you to delve into themes that resonate with you, whether they are rooted in personal memories, dreams, or social issues. Through sketching, decorating, and crafting, you’ll transform your ideas into unique paper rings. This experience culminates in sharing your creation, fostering a sense of community and shared artistic exploration.

 

Materials Needed

Paper

Pens, pencils, markers, or paint

Scissors

Glue or tape

Optional: decorative materials (beads, fabric, etc.)

 

Process
  1. Think about a theme for your ring. This could be based on a personal memory, a dream, or a response to a current social issue. (2 min)
  2. Sketch the design on paper. You can draw, write words, use patterns or decorative materials to express the theme of the ring. (3 min)
  3. Using the chosen materials, participants color, paint, or decorate the paper. This is where you can experiment with textures, layering, or mixed media. (3 min)
  4. Cut the decorated paper into a strip and roll or fold the paper into a ring shape. And if desired, add any final embellishments like beads or fabric. (10 min)
  5. You can briefly share your rings and the stories or concepts behind them with other participants. (2 min)
