Instructions:
Get ready to be amazed at how easy this bracelet is to make and how fantastic it looks when finished!
First, gather your images. I used a collage sheet with bright song birds on it but you can use any image you like.
Here is a video tutorial on this project showing how to make it step by step. If you prefer written instructions, please see below.
-
Cut 8 epoxy stickers out of the main sheet. Cut through the protective top and back coats, do not cut close to the edge of the sticker, instead just rough cut around it. Take each sticker (still on its backing), and move them over your graphics, see how each image will fit inside the sticker and look.
-
Once you know where you are going to place your stickers, it is time to place the first one. Take one sticker and remove the top protective sheet. Carefully holding the sticker along its top and edge, peel off the back protective layer. Be careful not to touch the sticky side (it will leave finger prints). Place the sticker over your image and press firmly with your fingers to remove any air bubbles. Repeat with your other 7 stickers.
-
Cut around the edges of all your stickers with images now under them. Cut right up along the edge of the sticker but do not cut the sticker.
-
Take one cut-out sticker and place a dab of Crafter's Pick Ultimate Glue on the back side. Using your finger or a scrap piece of wire, spread the glue over the entire backside of the sticker, making sure to get right up to the edges. Turn the sticker over and press into place in one of the bracelet bezel settings. Press firmly with your fingers over the entire surface of the sticker and hold down firmly. Hold in place for 1 minute.
-
Repeat the last step with your 7 remaining epoxy stickers with images under them.
-
All done! So quick and easy.

Tip: Make these as gifts!!! Especially fun to put children's photos in the settings and give to mom and grandma. This cherished gift can also be made with squares instead of rounds—both will be treasured!
Tip: Great project to do with kids. Make sure there is adult supervision with any craft and jewelry project.
Tip: Check package quantities for each component. You may have extra material to make more than one finished project, or will have leftovers for other projects. In some cases, adding on just one more package of a component may be all you need to make multiple pieces.
