What You Can Do With a Clear Resin Cuff Bangle

We sell this cool resin cuff bangle at http://www.bsueboutiques.com in the Cuffs, Bases section.  Item number SKU:  clearcuff.

It's maybe an inch and a half wide, thick.   Clear with an amber glow; that amber glow give you this fabulous vintage effect.

You can actually stud them with flatback rhinestones, vintage style.  That's one way to go.

But look at the pix here of what I like to do:

I like to collage them on the INSIDE with old paperscraps....photos, parts of old letters, postcards, tickets, memorabilia....whatever you like.  Things that mean something to YOU.

Start with the small pieces first. Then the medium, then the large, or what I've come to think of as 'facing' pieces.    I use a glue stick to the face of the scrap, press in place, let set for a half an hour or so and gesso over the inside rim.   Let that dry, then paint over.  I like to go over the top and bottom rim with a metallic paint pen, to give it a finish.

Let it cure up well...then wear!
