Quick Answer
The Chalk & Chuckles Design Your Own Bracelet Kit includes all the materials to make 8 bracelets: metal trays, glass gems, cords, beads, stickers, and gift bags. Follow the steps below to create wearable jewelry your child will be proud of.
What's in the Box and Why It Matters
The kit comes with 8 metal trays, 8 clear glass gems, 2 colored bracelet cords, glue, 70 wooden beads, 8 cloth gift bags, and 330 stickers. The variety of components lets kids design bracelets that are truly their own, but the small parts require adult supervision for younger children.
How to Make a Bracelet Step by Step
- Step 1: Choose Your Tray and Gems: Pick one metal tray and one clear glass gem. The tray holds the gem securely while you decorate. Make sure the gem sits flat in the tray—if it wobbles, the design may shift.
- Step 2: Decorate the Gem: Select stickers from the 330 included and place them face-down on the flat side of the gem. Press firmly so they stick well. Avoid overlapping stickers too much; a single layer gives the clearest look through the glass.
- Step 3: Add Glue and Attach the Gem: Apply a small amount of glue to the back of the decorated gem, then press it into the metal tray. Let it dry completely (about 5–10 minutes). Too much glue can seep out the sides—use just a dab in the center.
- Step 4: String the Beads: Cut a length of bracelet cord (the kit includes two colored cords). Thread wooden beads onto the cord in any pattern you like. Leave about 2 inches of cord at each end for tying the knot later.
- Step 5: Attach the Charm and Tie the Bracelet: Slide the metal tray charm onto the cord before tying the final knot. Tie a double knot to secure everything, then trim excess cord. Test the knot by pulling gently—if it slips, add a third knot or a drop of glue.
- Step 6: Gift or Wear: Place the finished bracelet in one of the 8 cloth gift bags for gifting, or wear it right away. Store leftover materials in the original box to keep them organized for future bracelets.
