Description

I like make this bracelet because it was material that I already had and it was real cheap lol :)

Instructions

  1. first make that glue: my mixture is flour, water, tablespoon of wood glue and a teaspoon of Elmer's glue the mixture should be not to thick or to thin but somewhere in-between . this mixture I used is good for paper mache if u can afford if u don't want to buy wallpaper glue

  2. next cut the cardboard into squares or any shape u like. I used 8 square

  3. next tear strips of paper( don't cut the strips because the edges will not be flat on the surface)

  4. dip the paper strips in the glue solutions, make sure get the excess glue off.

  5. now put about 3 to 4 layers of glue paper on each piece squared cardboard. then let them dry.

  6. once all the pieces are dry take a fine texture sand paper and sand each piece until smooth (make sure u don't over sand the pieces)

  7. now that all the pieces are smooth punch holes in the corners of the squares

  8. it now time to put ur painting skills in effect. design the pieces however u want and let the pieces dry.
