Tutorial: Ice Cream Scoop Ring

Sorry for a very delayed post. Things didn't go according to plan. Now that I've completed my exams (really didn't go that well...) and I'm feeling a bit down, I thought I'd take my time to type up a post. I wasn't planning to write up a tutorial for this so I don't a picture for every step and had to go back and make another scoop to depict a few steps.

There is no large set of rules one must abide by. As long as it's mainly pastel and 80s inspired, it's Fairy Kei. This style was one of the styles featured on Australia's Next Top Model, cycle 6. Some Fairy Kei featured on Japanese magazines... Have you fallen in love with Fairy...
