Turn dome epoxy (acrylic) stickers into a fun word bracelet.

Final Result

Materials

• clear epoxy dome stickers
• wide double-sided tape or sheets
• large jump rings
• toggle clasp
• discarded glossy magazines
• earring findings - optional
• scissors
• Fiskars craft drill

Step 1

Locate letters and small decorative elements in the magazine. Place a dome sticker over the top of each letter or decorative element and burnish well to adhere. Trim around the letter close to the edge of the sticker.

Affix one side of a sheet of double-sided adhesive to the paper side of the dome sticker element.

Trim around the dome shape. Peel off the backing and attach to the back of a second dome sticker to make a double sided element.

Step 2

Drill four small holes in each shape - two on the left and two on the right. Place the holes in the same place on each shape. Loop large jump rings through the holes.

Step 3

To assemble the bracelet, connect a series of shapes together using large jump rings until it is nearly long enough to make a bracelet. Add a toggle clasp using jump rings.

Step 4

Optional

To make earrings use larger size dome stickers and the same process of finding shapes or images and adhering them back to back using double-sided adhesive.

Align the shapes under the dome stickers so the shapes form diamonds.

Drill a single hold at the top of the diamond shape. Affix an earring finding to each shape using a jump ring.

Handy Hint

If you can’t find clear epoxy/acrylic dome stickers you can achieve a similar effect by laminating the letters using a lamination pouch then punch small holes for the jump rings.

Handy Hint

When making word bracelets, choose a variety of sizes and colours of letters so that the bracelet looks quirky and not too serious! For the reverse of the bracelet use a themed set of images such as fruit and vegetables, flowers or geometric patterns.
