Easy Chunky Cuff Bracelets



I am so amazed by all of the large pendants at Michael's. I used them for our Shabby Chic Napkin Rings and now I am making bracelets out of them. I especially love big cuff bracelets, and since Michael's also sells plain cuff bracelets I thought I would add my favorite pendant choices to them to create a nice chunky cuff for under ten dollars. Make them for yourself, or make them to give. Cuff bracelets are nice jewelry gifts since they can be adjusted to fit just about any wrist size.


You will need:


Cuff (Find in the jewelry section at Michael's). You can also find $3 ones under the "Supplies" section on Etsy.


Large Pendant (I found both of mine at Michael's. I love their new enamel line where I found the daisy).


Gorilla Glue Krazy Glue, or JB Weld Glue


Wire Snips 


Emory board or sand paper (depending on where the bale is this may not be needed).




Refer to our project Shabby Chic Napkin Rings on how to remove bales from your pendants. Click on the link for instruction: http://craftingrebellion.blogspot.com/2012/01/shabby-chic-napkin-rings.html


After you have removed the bale from the pendant apply a liberal amount of Gorilla Glue or J B Weld glue to the top of the cuff and the bottom of the pendant.


*You can glue onto the round base on the top of the cuff or you can pop it off with pliers and glue right onto the band.


Hold in place for a minute or two until set. Prop up.


Let dry 24 hours.

  8. We are SO on the same wavelength - I found a fabulous brooch at Michael's on sale yesterday that I turned into a bracelet too, and I seriously almost bought that yellow one too! Yours is so fabulous, I kind of wish I did. ;) I love it, it's so springy!

  9. So pretty and simple. I love how the flower would work for something dressy or look really chick with jeans and a cute top.

    Loved your bracelets sooo much!!! You inspired me, and remember this is my first try... so forgive the oops on the bracelets (Gorilla crazy glue dropped in wrong place, so had to sand the black finish...) But I do love my new bracelet sooo much I am planning some more! Thanks for all your help and the lovely inspiration!!!! Here is where they can be found... sorry no blog as of yet...

    Thanks Debi

  29. Okay i must be the only non crafty person but it does not keep me from trying to become one. I would love to make one but my question is: Can i glue the pendant onto a plain cuff one without a circle with edges. Thank You

    ReplyDelete
  30. Yes definitely. You do not need the rounded part. You just need to use glue that will bond metals like a krazy glue/gorilla glue, or jb weld. These glues usually take about 24 hours to really set. You also want to make sure you glue the flat part of the pendant to the cuff. If the pendant is not flat it may not adhere well.

  31. These are so cute!! Love the yellow one.
