Domino Art V - Domino Bracelet

I have a fun and easy bracelet to share today that incorporates most of the techniques I showed you last week. The background is made using the same basic instructions from day 1 - Domino Art and also uses the info about Sealing Dominoes that I shared yesterday. In addition to the regular art supplies (alcohol inks, stamps, Archival ink) you will also need some basic jewelery making supplies which include - wire, crimp beads, decorative beads and some type of clasp.

Ranger - Diva Brac

Since this is all stuff I've already covered I'm going to skip the basic pics...

Supplies:

Pre-Drilled Dominoes - Articus Studios
Adirondack Alcohol Inks - Ranger
Archival Ink - Ranger
Glossy Accents - Ranger
Posh Accents Gold Pen - Ranger
Beads & Findings - Blue Moon Beads
Woman Images - Hearts In Touch (retired)

Instructions:

1. Apply desired color of alcohol ink to both sides of each domino. Let dry.

2. Once dry, stamp image using Archival Ink. Let dry.

3. Apply a thin coat of Glossy Accents over each domino and let dry. Once dry apply a second coat to add dimension and glossy.

4. When your domino is completely dry apply the Gold Posh Accents Ink to the edges of all dominoes. Let Dry.

5. Cut 2 lengths of wire approximately 14" long. This is a longer piece of wire than you will actually need but it is far better to have too much and cut off the excess rather than run out of room.

6. Attach one end of clasp to the wire and start stringing beads & dominoes in desired pattern. Let your imagination run wild here...there are so many possibilities! I used leaves and funky moon beads with a few smaller colored beads tossed in for spacers.

7. Once you have all of your dominoes & beads strung, attach the other end of the clasp.

ENJOY!!!
Here are some pics of each of the dominoes.....
