Paper mache bracelets

Made by Jon Keller

You can make beautiful bracelets with paper mache . I have made several .

I use a heavy cardboard tube for a form . One long tube can make several bracelets . The tube I used had an inside diameter a little wider than what you would need for a bracelet, so , after I cut the length I wanted I had to cut a section out of the cardboard and glue the two cut edges together to get the inside diameter that I needed. As far as design goes , well the sky is the limit . The painting was done with acrylic paint and the final step is to apply several coats of polyurethane varnish.
