The tubing can be purchsed at any hardware store. You'll need a clear plastic tubing 3/8" or smaller and then some rigid 1/4" tubing (like the ice machine tubing) to seal both ends of the bracelet or necklace. The smaller tubing should fit snugly inside the larger tubing . Measure the tubing around the wrist and then cut with scissors. Cut a 1 inch length of the thinner tubing and insert it in the end of the larger tubing.
Mix some food color with water in plastic cups - as many as you like. Then using a syringe, load it with the colored water.
Fill the bracelet tubing carefully until it is filled with the liquid. Next, join the two ends and push them together to close the bracelet.
You can also add glitter and make the pieces sparkle.
The finished product can be modeled by your favorite pal !
