Make This - Pony Parade Bracelet



Supplies and Equipment:

  • bracelet blank (you can find these at craft stores - a row of small containers with a clasp already in place)
  • stickers that fit inside the shapes on your bracelet
  • a paint that sticks to metal - this is black nail polish
  • clear glaze - this is a tabletop style resin

 

Paint each of the containers on the bracelet and let dry well.  Use as many coats as you need.


Place a sticker in each container - I peeled mine off the sheet and stuck them very lightly onto a toothpick, then placed them with that.  I did this because I found my fingers just got in the way.

Fill each container with your clear glaze.  I used a tabletop style resin, if you do that be sure your surface is very level and covered in something protective.  Read the directions on the resin and then read them again before you use it.  Resin can be very dangerous if used incorrectly.  Read more on glazes here.


Because I started with a pre-made bracelet form the bracelet is ready to go as soon as the resin sets up.  Don't rush that, if you mess up the finish on the resin it's really hard to fix it!
