Now that I've got the individual pieces sanded and drilled, it's time to assemble and polish the pieces.
These are the bracelet links I'm going to use. It's just a random, complimentary assortment of the links.
I line them up in the order that I like. For the most part, it's random, but I try to make sure I don't have all the same paper patterns next to each other. I try to mix it up.
I thread my stretch plastic cord through the holes. Remember how I was being so particular about making sure the drilled holes were free of shavings? This is why. I can't thread the plastic through if anything is in the way.
I have the first set of holes threaded. Now I go back and do the second set.
Once I have the cord strung through both sides, I tie a square knot into each piece.
After trimming the ends of the cord, I give the bracelet one last good shine with some wax.
This is it! Can you believe it's finally done?
So here's the question I need answered from fans and visitors:
After seeing the posts on how to make this bracelet and seeing the finished resin bracelet above, what would you expect to pay for a piece of art jewelry like this?
