Slam Dunk Bracelet Tutorial
Created by: Rita Hutchinson
Designer Tips
- Stamp player number onto the tag. (For detailed stamping instructions, see link below.)
- Add additional tags for multiple players, or use larger tags for team names.
- Apply Stamp Enamel to tag and basketball charm per directions on package.
- Choose crystal or other bead colors to match your team colors.
- Wire wrap the crystal dangles with a loop large enough to move freely on the bracelet. (Detailed wrap instructions below.) Use chain nose pliers or crimp pliers to tuck the tail from the wire wrapping into place.
- Either wrap dangles directly onto the bracelet, or create components, and then spring one hook of the bracelet open and slide charms and crystal dangles in place.
