Hi, this is Julie with Beadaholique.com and today I'm going to show you how to make this bracelet here. This is a really easy Bracelet project to do and it's a stretch bracelet and what I've done is I cut little squares out of a Lillypilly copper sheet. I have one that's whole. This is how it comes. All I've done is I've cut them to fit the squares and I glued them into place. Super easy to do what you're going to need is Lillypilly Copper Sheet. These come in a bunch of different patinas. You can really pick a fun color and have fun design pattern you'll need a stretch bracelet these are plastic. They're very comfortable to wear and they're easy to work wit. You need some E6000 glue a pen a pair of metal shears all though scissors will work I do prefer metal shears just because I don't want to damage my scissors and then you'll also need a ruler now each square is twenty millimeters by twenty millimeters that's a little hard to measure on a ruler if you're going to be cutting a bunch of squares so I just kind of went with the three-quarter inch measurement for this project and I'm going to do squares which are three quarters-inch by three quarters-inch. They up just slightly small for the square but it's not really noticeable. I just find it's a lot easier so what you're gonna do is you're going to turn your Copper Sheet over take your ruler line it up against the edge and then with a pen you're just going to make a little mark where the three quarter inch is do that in a couple different places once we have a few reference marks just going to draw a line and then for this bracelet we need eight squares do another line so I'm going to go from that line I just drew, line my ruler up same process, little marks at the three-quarter inch spot this will be a little small, you can just make it a little larger if you want but this works totally fine since I know it's gonna be a little bit small I'm just gonna go a little bit above where those marks are and my line did not end up really dark right there now to get the actual square shape we need to go from the other side now and do the same process we're making a grid pattern on the back of our Lilly Pilly sheet When you get to the very end it's gonna be even here so you're going to get two here. So we can tell that here we have an inch and a half divide that in half, three quarter of an inch so this is going to be perfect we're not gonna have to make another measurement, we're going to know that that's what it's going to be if you can see we've got actually eight squares all lined up take my metal shears unlock them and I'm just going to cut these out along the line that I drew We've got all these little squares and some of them are a little bit crumbled looking. They're corners a little bit bent up. All you need to do, this is such a thin sheet you don't need to hammer it out, all you need to do is take your fingers and flatten them. Do that with all your little squares Once they're flat, glue them in place take some E6000 glue, use a scrap piece of wire or a tooth pick for a applicator if not you can actually just do it directly from the bottle place some on the back flip it over and press it into place in the middle of your square there's one do that all the way around once you've got all your squares in place return the lid of the glue and then what I want you to do go through and just press them down. So work your way around the bracelet pressing them down into place. Now what's nice about this project is normally if you were cutting the Lillypilly copper you'd wanna sand the corners down a little bit just cuz they are sharp but because this particular bracelet has a bezel setting to each square and it has nice rounded corners to the plastic and the sharp corners of the LillyPilly are set down within it you're not going to have to worry about filing those Lillypilly corners at all let this dry and you're bracelet is going to be all ready to go That is how you make a quick and easy bracelet using these great bracelet forms and Lillypilly Copper Sheets
