Watch for all of mytechniques anddesigns as they

become availableStep-by-Step

Create beautiful Cuff Braceletswith a few simple steps.

CREATIVE DESIGNTECHNIQUES

FRACTURE & FUSION

This technique is one of my favorites. The

unique mosaic pattern and color

combinations that can be achieved are

always amazing to me.

SPLASH

When I started playing with alcohol inks

on my Friendly Plastic sticks, a whole new

world of colorful surface designs became

possible.

MARBLING

When I designed the Marbling Comb

several years ago, it made it possible to re-

create some of the traditional marblingdesign with Friendly Plastic. Thanks to the

manufacturing of AMACO... that little

comb was made available for all of us.

6 Create your bracelet using your favorite designtechnique. Next, cut your bracelet along with astick of black plastic, to your desired width and

length. My standard measurements are (1/2x 6

3/4), (3/4x 6 3/4) and (1x 6 3/4).

6Pre-heat the griddle. Place the silicone baking matt ontothe griddle. Place the black plastic stick onto the baking

matt. Align it down the center with one end lined up at

the end of the matt. This gives you about 2 of the

silicone matt at the other end. You will need this to hold

on to when you pick it up later.

Allow the plastic to soften.

6Carefully align and place the designed plastic ontop of the softened black plastic. Allow the two to

soften and seal together. This takes approximately

3 to 4 minutes.

Try to resist the urge to touch.

6 Remove it from the water bath. Remove the jar,and check to make sure the inside has cooledcompletely. I like to dip it back into the water just

to make sure before removing the silicone matt

from the center.
