The project I want to share today is my "Family" bracelet.
Supplies:
Fragments - 5 - 5/8"squares
Glossy Accents - Ranger
Bracelet Blank - Sky Blue Pink
Vintage photos sized approx to 1/2"
Metal Letter Squares - Hobby Lobby
E-6000
Instructions:
1. Adhere "Family" letter tiles to alternating blanks using E-6000 and set aside to cure.
2. Print out desired photos. You will need to size your photos to approx 5/8" or a bit larger. You will notice that some of my photos appear larger than the tiles. This is so I could decide how I wanted to crop the photo after I had the tile down.
3. Cover the back side of each Fragment with Glossy Accents. Position the Fragment over the image Glossy Accent side down. With your finger press & swirl the Fragment down over the image making sure that all air bubbles are out and there is good contact between the photo and tile. (check out this video by Tim Holtz demonstrating this technique). Let dry.
4. Once the tiles are dry, cut them out.

5. Decide in what order you would like your tiles to be on the finished bracelet. Cover the back of each tile with E-6000 adhesive and attach to the blanks in desired order. Let cure. Note: Cure time varies depending on humidity and temperature. Even though it appears to be dry, I like to let jewelery cure for 2 - 3 days before it is worn.
Cool stuff as usual Roni!! Love it.

ReplyDeleteKewl project! Thanks for sharing where to find the bracelet blank - I love SkyBluePink. They have some neat stuff there.
ReplyDeleteI was just at my LSS and Archiver's today looking for those fragments. No luck with them but I did find some of the grungeboard sheets with the diamond pattern. Oh, and I also found some of the crackle glaze so I can't wait to try that out as well.
