Just follow the simple pictorial guide and surprise everyone, with these little nothings. You can also make them, stuff them in the love treasure chest, and then gift it.

You will need: Salt dough (click to 4 instructions on how to prepare it); Varnish; Baking tray; PVA glue; Metal ring attachments; Parchment paper; Oven gloves; Fine sandpaper; Cooling rack; Paintbrush; Acrylic paints; Modeling tool, Rolling pin.

Roll out a piece of salt dough 1cm thick. Place the heart and star templates on the dough and cut around them. Place the shapes on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake them for about four hours at 120 degree C, or 250 degree F/Gas 1/2.

When the shapes have hardened, remove the try from the oven (using oven gloves) and transfer them to a cooling rack. Once they have cooled, smooth rough edges with sandpaper before painting your rings. When dry, apply a coat of varnish.

Glue a ring attachment on to the back of each shape and leave the glue to dry before trying on the rings.
