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.

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.

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.

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.
