Copper Bangle Bracelet with turquoise
Turning bangle bracelets are fun and easy! Barry will show you everything you need to know and then some on making unique and stunning bangle bracelets; from the raw wood to a finished product in just a short weekend. Material selection will be discussed; do you use acrylics, wood or a combination of wood and acrylic? All these materials will be thoroughly reviewed. How to stabilize your own bangle bracelet blanks will be demonstrated and the students will have a solid understanding on how to make their own blanks from material of their choosing by stabilizing the blanks themselves!
Stainless steel bangle bracelet kit
Using a four jawed chuck and turning the blank is easy and fun (that is actually the shortest part of making a bangle bracelet).
By the end of the weekend, each student will have made a minimum of two different bangle bracelets with emphasis on quality of fit and finish.
Key Points:
- Learn how to stabilize your own bangle bracelet blanks
- Achieve a perfect CA glue finish on the bangle bracelet
- Learn the best way to finish acrylics
- Learn how to use a four jawed chuck
