Mood Ring

PROJECT R608
Designer: Julie Bean
Skill Level: Beginner
This ring is oh so groovy! The mood bead changes colors based upon the temperature and the thought is, as your moods change, your temperature changes and thus the mood ring can "tell" your moods. Great ring to have a lot of fun with. You'll be able to make two with supplies—give one to a friend! Note: We have updated this project with a craft wire variety pack allowing you to make rings in your favorite colors.
