For my project I chose to focus on the Base 'N Bling Wearable Crafts line, specifically the Oval Cuff Bracelet! 

This project came together in minutes and I love how easy it was to customize my piece based on my own likes and favorite colors. Below is a step-by-step of how to create your own bracelet!

Supplies Needed (each product is linked to my web store for easy reference):

• Oval Cuff Bracelet (choose between Faux Antique Gold or Faux Antique Silver)
• Oval Glass Cover
• Liquid Glass
• Style Sheet (Signature or Journey)
• Scissors
• Pencil
• Baby Wipes or Wet Paper Towels

Step-By-Step:

 

1. Start by choosing an image from one of the two rectangular style sheets (Signature or Journey). I was drawn to the "I choose to be awesome today" sentiment from the Journey Style Sheet.

 

2. Once selected place the glass cover over top and lightly trace with a pencil. Remove glass cover and trim with your scissors. The cut does not need to be perfect but it should fit into the cuff easily. 

 3. Peel the backing off the sticker and place into your cuff. Generously apply Liquid Glass to the cuff. This is not a time to skimp! You want that cover to stay put!

 

 4. Place the glass cover on the Liquid Glass and hold for about 60-90 seconds. You want the Liquid Glass to ooze out the sides. This is to ensure you get all those pesky air bubbles out!

 

 5. Use baby wipes or wet paper towels to wipe up the excess liquid glass. It won't be completely dry but you can wear your new customized bracelet right away!

 

That's it! I told you it was easy. If you would like to make your own  bracelet please contact your CTMH consultant or visit my webiste, www.michellebattitori.ctmh.com.
