Starry-Eyed Skull Bracelet

I fell in love with my first skull bracelet about a year ago after finding it in a weird little shop on vacation.. there's just something creepy-adorable about the little beads. Sadly, the elastic snapped to my skull bracelet and I lost half the beads. Instead of trying to find another one I decided to just make my own! On top of that, I wanted to make a more girly-glam version of the bracelet, thus the starry-eyed skull was born!

Supplies:
-Skull beads - They come in all different sizes, shapes, and colors. Try Etsy.com (just search skull beads and pick which you like best!) You can also find them at many craft stores.
-Jewelry elastic
-Glitter nail polish
-Ribbon (optional)
-Hot Glue Gun + Glue (optional)

Step One:
-String the skulls onto the Jewelry elastic. Measure to fit your wrist (with my size wrist/ beads I used 15 skulls)
-Tie string in a secure knot.

pink, red, and turquoise! 

Step Two:
-Lay bracelet flat. Face all skulls upwards
-Using glitter nail polish carefully dab each skull eye socket. The polish should fill the hollow socket. I found using a medium sized glitter gave me the look I wanted. You can see below the different between using a fine glitter and a medium. It's totally your preference!

(tip: if you mess up or don't like the polish you've chosen use a cotton swab to remove the paint!)

for the pink skull bracelet I only painted every other skull

Step Three:
-Let polish dry completely (this could take a while)
-Optionally decorate with a ribbon bow. Use a little dab of hot glue to secure the bow so that it does not untie.

Voila! Spooky-Glam skull bracelets you can stack :)

I love chunky stacked bracelets

.. maybe a little too much :)
