Too Many Bling Bracelets? Never!

Design a Beautiful DIY Bling Bracelet from Clay and Crystals

​Does your jewelry collection have too many ordinary bracelets? Sparkling rhinestone jewelry pieces add elegance and style.  You can create one-of-a-kind DIY bling bracelets from clay and crystals. 

For this project, I used:

• Granite Sculpey clay
• Oval shaped cutter 15mm x 9mm
• 29 - 4 mm silver jump rings
• Jewelry pliers
• Toggle clasp (bar and ring)
• 30ss Crystal Rhinestones
• Gem tac
• Wax tipped tool or tweezers

Roll out sculpey clay to 1/4 of an inch thick. Using your cutter, cut out 9 ovals measuring about 7 inches long.

Insert a jump ring into the short end of each oval.  Place on a white sheet of paper on a cookie sheet. Bake for 15 minutes in a 275 degree preheated oven. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

Using your jewelry pliers, open a jump ring, connect two ovals together and close the jump ring. Attach the ring and toggle at each end of the bracelet.

Place a drop of Gem Tac about the size of the rhinestone in the middle of the oval. Using your wax tipped tool, pick up a rhinestone and gently press it into the glue drop. Continue adding rhinestones onto each oval. Allow to dry flat for 24 hours.

Fabulous, easy, and sparkly! What more can a girl want?
