Ring Display Hand

Packers marvel at Super Bowl ring's might

Green Bay - Charles Woodson was asked to hold up The Ring on his right hand for the benefit of the cameras.

"It's kind of heavy," Woodson said. "It won't be (for) long."

I'll say. Woodson hasn't held up something that big since Tony Gonzalez.

Win a Super Bowl, though, and the spoils tend to be super-sized.

"They wanted big and they wanted bling," Packers President Mark Murphy said. "We were successful in that."

Look, I don't know Tiffany the jeweler from Tiffany the singer, so I'll have to take Woodson's word for it when he said, "It's the best ring I've ever seen and I'm not saying it because it's our night. It's an incredible ring."

For the record, I'll quote from the Packers' official release on the monstrosity, even if it does read like a game-show announcer talking about what's behind Door No. 3.

"The crest of the ring features the Green Bay "G" logo crest in 18-karat yellow gold placed on a green stone tablet. Thirteen diamonds are embedded in the logo, each one representing the team's NFL-record 13 championships. The iconic logo is illuminated by round, brilliant-cut diamonds and four marquis-cut diamonds representing the Packers' four Super Bowl triumphs. Surrounding the crest are 92 diamonds which recognize the 92-year history of Green Bay Packers football."

So there's your bling.

And here's your big: It says right here that it weighs 116 grams.

Grams? What is this, Canadian football?

It's made of platinum, with 18-karat gold. It's got 3.35 carats of diamonds, for all you Kardashian followers out there.

As for the cost, the Packers are standing behind the company line: They say the NFL "pays for up to 150 rings at $5,000 per ring. Further information about the rings was not disclosed."

That sounds about right, considering that no one associated with the NFL would've confirmed that the ring celebration was held on a Thursday night without prior approval. But let's just say the overrun could keep a whole bunch of out-of-work players financially afloat for however long the lockout lasts.

It was somewhat fitting, then, that the Packers held the news conference after their private party inside a Lambeau Field ice cream parlor, given the league-wide frosty relations between employers and employees that thawed for one memorable evening of détente.

Zebra Hand Ring Display :) | How To | Cut Out + Keep

I am a big fan of rings but I am extrememly tired of not having a display for them where they can just sit on my dresser and remind me 2 actually put them on my fingers :P

I checked out other ring displays but couldn't find one that suited my taste or that wasn't expensive :/ So I came up w/this hand ring display :) It turned out allot better than I had hoped and many people have admired it so I decided to share it w/you guys :D Note that this is my 1st tutorial so I hope everything makes sense lol ;)

Take a strip of the aluminum foil (approx. 4 inches wide)fold the aluminum in half so that it is half the length but the same width and begin to form this into a straight 'stick.'( for lack of a better word :P)

This is going to be the base for your fingers, this stick will be very thin (about the width of a pencil) but will provide some support later on... Form the foil so that the stick is about 4 in. tall (or however long u want your fingers.. Make 5 of these but varying the lengths slightly to make it a more reallistic hand.

Now it's time to make salt dough for covering the hand:)

Mix the flour and salt until combined.

Add water a little at a time and cut into flour mixture, (you may need more or less water)Add wallpaper paste (opptional, give the dough more elasticity) and mix until it's spread evenly throughout.

The dough should be easy to work w/and should not stick to your hands or be dry..

If such is the case: for sticky dough add flour and if the dough is too dry add water:)

Begin to cover the hand w/dough, using a little at a time and forming over the aluminum. Smoothing and shaping all the while.

(You will want to cover the dough while it's not in use b/c it does dry out rather quickly.
