Heart Bracelets
Wear some DIY accessories on Valentine’s Day! Our wooden bangle bracelets are fun to decorate for special occasions and holidays. To make the bracelet with white hearts, paint the bracelet first with acrylic white paint. TIP: Use 2 coats of white paint. Once dry, add heart stickers to the outside. Then mixed blue and pink acrylic paint to create a magenta color, and paint the entire bracelet, right over the stickers. Once dry, peel the stickers off carefully, and you have white hearts! You can also paint the bracelet white and keep the stickers on for a whole new look. And don’t forget to paint the inside too! We also have this yarn bangle craft kit where you can use white and pink yarn to create a Vday themed bracelet.
