Step 1
Clean the gold cuff bracelet
Ensure that the cuff bracelet is completely clean and ready for gluing.
Step 2
Prepare the glue
Fill the Crystal FX Glue Syringe with enough E6000 Plus Resin Glue for your project, be careful to not take more glue than you need. The easiest way to do this is to place the end of the syringe inside the nozzle of the E6000 Plus glue tube and pull the plunger on the syringe while gently squeezing the tube of glue. This will transfer the glue from the tube to the syringe with minimal mess and exposure to the air.
Step 3
Guard against air bubbles in the glue syringe
Once the glue is transferred you are likely to have a small air bubble in the syringe, hold the syringe vertically so that the bubble floats to the opening at top and gently push on the stopper, pushing the air out until there is only glue left inside. You can then attach the needle tip, completing the syringe.
Step 4
Give yourself a guide for your design
For this project we are following the flow of the swirling loops on this gold cuff and we will keep all of our crystals within these edges, flexing up and down in crystal size to suit the available space.
Step 5
Apply the glue
Use the loaded syringe to squeeze out a thin layer of glue onto the ceramic, drawing out your chosen design and leave it for 5 to 10 minutes to get tacky. Be careful to not apply too much, otherwise you will risk the glue running in unwanted directions. We also advise doing this stage in small sections when working on three dimensional objects to minimise the risk of accidentally touching the glue while it’s still wet.
Step 6
Place the crystals
Use the Wax Picker Pen to gently place the Serinity Crystals onto the glue. Be sure to make full use of the different sizes available on our website to select the best sizes for the swirls on your cuff bracelet and flex up and down in crystal size to best match the width of the swirls. Try to keep the crystals close together with as few gaps as possible for best effect.
STEP 7
Let the glue dry
Tidy up the edges with Isopropyl alcohol if needed and let it dry overnight, once the glue is safely dry you can turn the cuff bracelet over and to the same for the swirls on the other side.
Congratulations, you now have a one-of-a-kind gold cuff bracelet that reflects your unique sense of personal style! Adding rhinestone embellishments using Serinity Crystals is a simple yet effective way to elevate your accessories game and stand out from the crowd. So go ahead, get crafty, and let your creativity shine through in your jewellery collection.
