Designer: Patti Milazzo

Flowers are everywhere this Spring!  Here’s a handcrafted bracelet idea for mom or someone special in your life that incorporates all those beautiful floral stamps you have.  Fiskars Hand Drill made this project especially easy to drill small holes without the worry of breaking the small wooden discs.  And Heidi Grace’s floral stamp set added beautiful detail in creating these ceramic like discs for this classic black and white bracelet.

Instructions (Print version)

1. Prepare 6+ wood discs by sanding any uneven edges or surface area and wipe clean.
Note: prepare a few extra to be safe.
2. Evenly coat wood discs on both sides and let dry thoroughly.
3. Stamp one side of discs with Heidi Grace floral stamp designs and Stamp Blocks, let dry, then stamp designs on opposite side also.

4. Use the Fiskars Hand Drill  to create 2 small holes on opposite sides of the discs – this is where the jump rings will be attached.

5. Coat discs with clear coat of acrylic or other sealer – a crackle finish gives the pieces a vintage touch.
6. Using pliers, attach jump rings to each drilled hole.
7. Connect the pieces with smaller jump rings.
8. Attach clasp pieces to end jump rings using pliers.
9. Create charms with head pins, silver filigree beads and black beads. 
10. Trim head pin length if needed with Wire Cutter and use Needle Nose Pliers to create loop on end and attach to jump ring near clasp.

Note: 6 – 1” discs with jump rings and clasp will create a 7 ½” bracelet.
