The other day, I saw these bracelets at
anthropologie at the register that were so cool. It was just a simple bangle with one letter all over it in different fonts. I was about to grab the M one for myself, when I realized that it was just bits of printed paper decoupaged onto the bracelet! The crafter inside of me jumped because I knew how easy it would be to make something like it myself for WAY cheaper. I immediately went over to Forever 21 (yes, we finally got one!!!) and bought a 3 dollar white plastic bracelet that I could afford to trash, just in case it didn't work out as well as I was picturing it in my head. Later, I got online and downloaded a bunch of cool
free fonts and printed out a batch of M's. After cutting them up, I busted out the glossy mod podge and got glueing. Here is what I did. - Sorry the pictures aren't as helpful as I would have wanted. My hands were sticky and I gave up trying to explain to Bart.
1) Cut up your letter in a bunch of different fonts. Print more as necessary.
2) With a brush, layer mod podge, then paper, then another coat of mod podge on top to adhere the letter to the bracelet. This is a cheap craft - so it's okay to experiment.
3) Repeat all over the outside and inside of bracelet and let dry! So simple!
