Rings often slide around on your finger if the ring is a little too big. If you'd like to make sure your ring stays put on your finger, there are lots of simple fixes that will help keep it in place. If you have materials at home like hot glue, tape, or string, you can make your own solution in just a few minute’s time. While taking your ring to a jeweler for a more permanent fix will take a little longer, it's a great way to keep your ring from sliding around on your finger, too.
Quick DIY Tricks to Resize Your Rings
Line the inside of your ring with hot glue or clear nail polish to stop it from sliding around. Alternatively, wrap clear tape around the bottom of the band to make it smaller, or put a thin, nude-colored rubber band around your finger to help hold the ring in place.
