Choosing a ring for a child is a special moment. Whether it's for a baby shower, a birthday, or a special occasion, you want the ring to be not only beautiful, but also perfectly fitting. But how do you know the right size?
Here's a simple homemade technique you can make in minutes with items you already have at home.
✂️ What you need:
-
A small piece of thread (or thin ribbon)
-
A ruler in millimeters (mm)
-
A pencil
-
A sheet of paper (optional)
🧵 Steps to follow to measure your child's finger:
1. Measure at the end of the day
Fingers may swell slightly throughout the day. It's best to take your measurement in the evening to avoid a ring that's too tight.
2. Gently wind the wire
Take the wire and wrap it around the base of your child's finger, where the ring would be worn. Make sure the wire is snug, but not too tight (you should be able to slide it on without forcing it).
3. Mark the meeting point
With a small pencil line, mark on the wire the exact spot where it goes completely around the finger.
4. Measure the length
Using the ruler, measure the length between the two marks in millimeters.
5. Determine the ring size
Then use a size conversion chart to find the ring size that matches your measurement. Here are some examples:
🧸 Our advice for moms:
-
If your child is between two sizes, choose the larger size for more comfort.
-
Kids grow fast! Sometimes it's better to choose a slightly larger ring so it lasts longer.
-
Check that the ring fits over the knuckles of your finger.
