- Scissors.
- Glue.
- Scotch.
- Satin white fabric.
If all the materials from which the rings are made have been purchased, you can begin the main work, following the step-by-step instructions.
- Using a plumbing pipe, make two circles, that is, rings. They don't have to be the same size. Women's will be smaller and men's will be more. The difference doesn't have to be measured. It may be symbolic.
- Secure the ends of the pipe with construction tape.
- Wrap the resulting product with gold or silver ribbon. Moreover, it is better to wrap it in several layers so that nothing shows through.
- Secure the rings together. There are a lot of connection options: side by side or one in front, the other behind. When choosing the last option, there should be a larger, so-called male ring in front.

Where to start?
Making car decorations should be approached responsibly. All the beauty created in the parking lot can disappear as soon as the car picks up speed. Therefore, you need to choose durable materials. A hardware store will be a great place where you can show your imagination. Online sources offer many options.
The starting material for the rings can be one of the following.
It bends easily, takes the desired shape and is fixed. In itself it is already voluminous, all that remains is to give it a characteristic golden shine.
- Plastic wiring duct or hose.
It is very light, it may be necessary to fill it with something from the inside, otherwise the structure will simply bend when moving at high speed.
- Thin wire.
It will be more work with it, since it requires a large addition in volume. The wire gives an even shape, but it needs to be wound in several circles and secured, and only then wrapped with additional material. One option is to wrap it in toilet paper to the desired volume. The method is not expensive, but long. A stronger structure can be obtained using electrical tape. The fixation will be more reliable and the rings themselves will be heavier.
- Carved from wood.
How are the rings attached to a car?
How are rings attached to a wedding car? Jewelry from the store must have fastenings.
It could be:
- sucker;
- magnet;
- loops for ribbons.
If you made the accessory yourself, then take care of how it can be attached to the vehicle. The most reliable and safest way is ribbon loops. As a rule, these are wide satin ribbons that are in harmony with the main color of wedding decorations.
If your product already has a magnet, then don't worry. It will hold the structure on the roof long enough and well. In addition, after dismantling there will be no traces left.
But if there is a suction cup installed on the rings, you should know a little trick. Before attaching, wet the suction cup in Sprite. This way it will hold on tighter and will not leave scratches behind.
Useful tips
To avoid unpleasant surprises, follow our recommendations:
- If you order a car from a specialized company, then you should ask whether you can decorate the car yourself. So that there is no surprise in the form of a machine on which it is impossible to attach the tapes.
- If you order a whole cortege, it is recommended to choose them in the same color. It looks more luxurious and stylish.
- The decoration on the car should be in contrast to the color of the car. White decorations look luxurious on black cars. And light-colored people need bright spots in the form of various decorative elements.
- Decorations must be well secured so that they do not get carried away into the blue distance or torn off decor does not block the driver’s view at the wrong moment.
