glammed up metal cuff

i've seen several different cuffs like these online that were outrageously overpriced. granted most of them were made w/swarovski crystals (which accounts for the high price) but i decided to make my own out of acrylic stones/jewels which are much cheaper and equally as dazzzzzling.

Instructions

  1. Small 001 1276320344

    first you need a plain metal cuff. i found this one at walmart for $5 but you can prob find them at thrift stores even cheaper.

  2. Small 007 1276320830

    then you need some acrylic stones/ jewels. i picked up this 1 lb. tub for $8 on sale, but you can buy them in much smaller quantities in a variety of colors and shapes. you can pick these up at any craft store.

  3. Small 003 1276321021

    then you will need some kind of glue that will adhere to metal. i used aleene's jewel-it, but there are several different types of adhesive on the market that will work. use w/e is available to you, but look for glues that work w/ metals and/or are specifically for embellishing.
