Lunar Panel Bracelet

Materials Needed:

Instructions

1. Warm and slice Designer Canes following instructions on package. You will need 5 slices of the Two Face Sun and 5 slices of the Moon Face.

2. Roll a sheet of Cobalt Blue clay out using 3rd from the lowest setting on pasta machine. Or roll clay with rolling tool to
1/16” thickness.

3. Use Kemper 5/8” circle cutter to cut 10 circles from blue clay.

4. Apply Translucent Liquid Sculpey ( TLS ) to top of blue clay circle.

5. Sprinkle dark blue glitter over TLS. Gently blow off
any loose glitter.

6. Apply a small amount of TLS in center of glitter circle right over glitter.

7. Place one of the Designer Cane slices in center of glitter circle on top of TLS. Dab the top of the Cane slice a little with your finger to make sure Cane slice is into the TLS. This does not take much pressure. Repeat 6 and 7 for all glitter circles till you have done 5 Two Face Sun panels and 5 Moon Face panels. Set these panels aside.

8. Roll out a small sheet of White clay using the lowest setting on the pasta machine. Or roll clay with rolling tool to 1/32” thickness.

9. Use Kemper 3/16” flower cutter to cut out 10 flowers.

10. Apply a tiny dot of TLS to top right side of Moon Face panel. Put a white clay flower over TLS dot. Repeat for all 5 panels.

11. Apply a tiny dot of TLS to lower left side of Two Face Sun panel. Put a white clay flower over TLS dot. Repeat for all 5 panels.

12. Roll out a sheet of Black clay using the 3rd to the lowest setting on pasta machine. Or roll Black clay with rolling tool to 1/16” thickness.

13. Use Kemper 5/8” square cutter to cut 20 squares from black clay. You will use 10 squares for panel backs. You will use the other 10 squares to slice and use for the middle of the panels.

14. Use a knife to cut a 1/16” strip on top part of black clay square. Cut another 1/16” strip on bottom of black clay square. Cut remaining wide center strip in half. See picture.

15. Place the strips you cut onto a full black clay square in the following order. Place the 1/16” strip from the top to the top of the full black clay square. Place the 1/16” strip from the bottom to the bottom of the full black clay square. Place one of the center cut half strips in the middle of the full black clay square. This will leave two spaces in the middle panel section for stringing. You will have a small amount of black clay left that you will not need. Repeat for all 10 black panel backs. See picture.

16. Apply a tiny amount of TLS on top of black clay strips in the center only.

17. Place a bracelet panel on top of black clay squares over top of TLS and black clay strips. Position the bracelet panel so the strips run sideways for stringing and the face designs run up and down. The center strips should be sandwiched between the black square panel back and the front glitter panel. Do this for all 10 bracelet panels.

18. Bake at 275 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes. Let cool.

19. Use .5mm Stretchy Cord to string the panels and beads. String panels altering one Two Face Sun panel, one blue seed bead, one Moon Face panel, one blue seed bead until you have strung the top of all 10 bracelet panels. Repeat the same stringing for the bottom panels.

20. Finish Stretchy Cord ends. Tie a square knot in the top ends of Stretchy Cord and apply Super glue. Tie a square knot in the bottom ends of Stretchy Cord and apply Super glue. Pull ends inside of bracelet panel. Cut excess Stretchy Cord.

Helpful Hints:
Use a knife to slide under your work to carefully lift any stock pieces from your work surface. Bracelet panels measure 5/8” wide. Measure your wrist to see if you need to make more than 10 panels.
