Have a Drink?? You can Pour Yourself #Cre8time AMAZING Bangles with Rachel Whetzel

Hello, AMAZING peeps!! It's Rachel Whetzel... and I just got done making myself some really COOL bangle bracelets!! I have loved the posts here on the blog from other Creative Team Members sharing their bracelet ideas... (more here) but many of them already have a piece to mold, and I did not. The other day it hit me. I don't NEED an original!! All I needed was the round shape!! So I got started! 

Here's what you'll need to make a bracelet of your own:

• Pretty twine and string. I found mine at my local thrift stores. 
• Amazing Mold Putty
• Amazing Casting Resin
• A cup with straight walls that you can fit your hand into. 

Here is a bit of my twine and string collection. 

To create my mold, I found a cup that had sides that went straight up and down, and didn't get smaller at the bottom. Then I got to work getting the Amazing Mold Putty ready for the rim of the cup. (Please CLICK HERE for more detailed instructions on how to mix Amazing Mold Putty.) I formed the putty into a ball.

Next, I flattened the ball, and then I started a hole in the center of the ball, to keep from wasting putty in the center of the cup area. 

  

When my ring was the right size, I pressed the edge of the cup into it, and flipped the piece over to press the edges of the mold around the glass on both sides of the rim. 

Then I turned the piece back over, and allowed it to cure. 

Thankfully, I thought to use some cardboard to catch the spills, because pouring into those skinny molds was HARD!! (One of my molds didn't work, so I only ended up making two bracelets for now.) Click HERE for directions on Mixing Amazing Casting Resin.

The cup I used was just a little too large for my wrists, so before the Amazing Casting Resin completely set, I cut out a section, and put holes into the ends, so that I could tie them together. Then I got busy wrapping the string around the piece!! 

I love the way they turned out!!

I can't wait to create a whole arm full of them to wear!
