Confetti, this chunky bracelet is cause to celebrate. Its dynamic look is accomplished by suspending hand-cut acrylic dots in the resin as it harden. Adhere to the step by stage as below:
Supplies: Polyester movie everlasting marker transparent tape three.2mm thick acrylic sheets in numerous colors sandpaper, one hundred, 200, 320, and 400 grit polyester casting resin and catalyst stir sticks further fine steel wool plastic wax.
Tools: scissors, hot glue gun, jeweler's noticed with 1/ blades safely equipments measuring cups mark with ounces bamboo skewers coarse file soft cloth.
Task stage:
- Commence creating a mold by cutting a 5x6 inch piece of polyester movie. Utilizing the long lasting markers to draw a circle that is two 1/2 inches in diameter inside the polyester film. The circle will serve as a guidebook for the within of the bracelet and can be adjusting for various sizes. Draw the outline of the preferred exterior shape.
- Cut a strip of polyester film that measures 1 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches. Type the strip into a loop that fits inside the circle draw on the sheet. Tape the ends of the loop and burnish the tape to get a great seal. Minimize another strip of polyester movie that measures 1 1/two x 13 inches and type it into a loop to match the exterior form. Safe the ends with tapes, applying the tape to the within of the loop. Burnish the tape, and lower off any extra film.
- Location the smaller sized loop on the base sheet. Use the glue gun to tack down the inside of the loop in several places with the circle serving as a guide. When the glue has set, apply glue all along the bottom of the inside seam and then along the outside seam. Check the seams to make positive they are securely sealed so the resin won't seep out later on in the course of the casting process.
- To make the inclusion, sand the surface of the acrylic sheets with 220 grit sandpaper to guarantee that the casting resin will adhere sufficiently later on, then use the jeweler's saw to lower out tiny shapes out of the plastic. As you make the pieces, arrange them to a circle to get an concept of how they will seem in the bracelet and how a lot space they'll occupy.
- Arrange the acrylic pieces about the mold just before you combine the coasting resin. Place on your security gear, and measure out three ounces of resin.
- Fill the mold halfway with resin to permit for the space the acrylic pieces will take up. Place the inclusions into the resin as you prearranged them. The pieces will sink to the bottom of the mold, so preserve incorporating more. Employing a bamboo skewer to adjust the pieces and to tease out air bubbles that might type. Enable the casting to set up for 24 hrs prior to getting rid of it from the mold.
- As soon as the resin has set up, tear away the polyester film mold from the casting. Ultimately, function a bit of plastic wax over the surface with a soft cloth. The bracelet will deliver out the colors of the acrylic and the transparency of the resin.
