how can i make a lucite bangle bracelet?
I have a lot of swavorski crystals with coned backs. These could be glued into a bangle bracelet, if I had a mold.
I hope I have explained this idea correctly.
I am unable to find how to make or buy a bangle bracelet mold or bangle with indentions to place these crystals.
Any ideas?
WOW! That is a hard one! I think I know exactly what you want, but as for where to find it. . . Do you have anywhere locally that teaches jewellry making? Maybe the teacher would have ideas or resources. Or, instead of lucite, try resin?
This site has different ideas ~ I wonder if you could use special clay to fashion a bracelet?
