step 1

Upload and Prepare Photo

Using the photo-conversion tool, upload a picture and print it onto card stock using an ink-jet printer.

step 2

Prepare Glitter and Apply Glue
Prepare glitter: Pour small amounts into separate baking cups. Set out a few extra cups for blending more hues as needed.

Apply craft glue from a fine-tipped bottle to a color field (it doesn’t matter where you begin). If the area is large, outline it first, then use the tip to fill in the space.

Step 3

Add Glitter
Sprinkle glitter onto the glued area, covering it completely.

Remove excess glitter by standing the panel upright and tapping it lightly on the work surface.

Clear plastic tubes filled with water, beads and glitter to add sparkle. Move it back and forth and see them move.

How to Make Water Bracelet
* clear tubing. 2 sizes
* tooth pick
* seed beads
* glitter
* water
* Krazy glue

You need 2 sizes of tubing. The smaller one fits inside the larger one (which you use for the bracelet) in order to seal the water from coming out. Or you could use a small wood dowel to block the water from coming out. The clear tubing looks better.

Cut the larger sized tubing to fit the size of the child’s wrist and big enough to fit over the hand. It will be glued together and not able to come apart.

Cut a piece of the smaller tubing about an inch long.

Put Krazy glue around the outside of the smaller tubing and push it 1/2 way into the larger tubing on one end.

Put the seed beads into the tube. You may want to use a toothpick. They must be small in order to move freely.

Now put a small amount of glitter. Maybe a pinch. Use several colors if you wish.

Place your finger over one end and fill with water leaving about an inch on each end. In order words, do not fill completely full.

Now put Krazy glue on the last 1/2 of the smaller tube and push all the way in the larger one until they meet.

Stand it up and allow to dry.

After it drys, shake it hard and watch the beads move back and forth.

Is there a better way to celebrate summer and open on the road. If you are a constant crafter, like me, every time you get a chance to display projects on the go. Sometimes you need to have the efficient place where you can put all your craft tools in a better place. Therefore I came with the car model Craft caddy. Do not hesitate to see a pattern that matches the needs and finishing requirements. I would recommend sitting in the car a large piece of paper, pencil and tape measure. This way you can know the exact dimensions of the caddy.

The detail process of this craft project can be seen thru link below.
