| I have posted these Marc by Marc Jacobs 'Hot Dot' Wide Bangles before. I love these, but they are $68.00 a piece, so DIY time. |
 |
| I found two plastic bracelets at the thrift store for a $1.00. They had the characteristics I was looking for, same size, and thickness. Materials needed for this project are two wide bangle bracelets, spray paint, paper, a nickel, newspaper, and two paint pens - cobalt blue and black. *I bought spray paint that adheres to plastic in black, cream, and clear. |
 |
| Spray paint each bracelet. |
 |
| **You could buy plastic bangles that are already cream and black, if you don't want to invest in spray paint. |
 |
| I made a stencil by tracing a nickel. I tried different sized coins, until I found the desired size. |
 |
| Trace the stencil onto the bracelet with a pencil. Make sure to have a pattern set in place before you start tracing. |
 |
| Use the paint pens to trace the circles and fill in. The last step is optional, I sprayed the bracelets with a clear spray paint as an extra coating to deter chipping and fading. |
 |
| Final outcome satisfies my taste for a polka dot bracelet. |
I have had a very busy week and am looking forward to the weekend. I hope you have a great weekend and would love to hear what you think.
You are so clever! I am the least crafty person you would ever meet...but I think I could handle this. They are darling. You could wear them with that cobalt and black top that you altered from a dress.
ReplyDeleteBy the way...have they chipped at all?
Thanks so much, I just went up to my closet and thought the same thing about pairing these bracelets with that shirt. They have not chipped yet , but they probably would if you don't put that clean coat over top. I'll keep you up to date after I wear them a couple more times . I appreciate your sweet comments. Have a good weekend.
DeleteHappy weekend! These are fun bangles! And polka dotted. :)
