How To Make Bangle Bracelets:
Learn the essential techniques and tips to become a master in creating beautiful bangle bracelets. From selecting the right materials to mastering various designs, this guide will help you elevate your skills and create stunning arm candy.
- Use a paint brush to coat the natural wood bangle with a thin layer of Matte Mod Podge. It is an all in one decoupage glue, sealer and finish.
- Allow Mod Podge to dry. This will create the base layer so your paint will adhere to the bangles well.
- Apply Stencil to bracelet and secure with tape.
- Paint desired color.
- Remove stencil carefully.
- Spray the whole bangle with a coating of Triple Thick Clear Glaze. This provides a bright, clear coating and gives the illusion of depth while protecting the underlying paint.
- Allow to dry fully before wearing.
