Instructions

1. Prepare your workspace by covering surfaces with a craft mat or newspaper to catch any glue spills. 2. Choose the glass or mosaic tiles you want to use and arrange them in a pattern that you like on the craft mat. 3. Cut a length of jewelry wire or elastic string to fit around your wrist, adding an extra inch for tying knots. 4. Carefully start attaching the tiles to the wire or string using jump rings or by threading them directly onto the string. 5. If using jump rings, use jewelry pliers to open the ring, thread on a tile, and close the ring securely. 6. For a more permanent hold, you can glue the tiles onto the wire or string using super glue or epoxy resin. Ensure to let the glue dry as per the instructions. 7. Once all tiles are attached and dry, finish the bracelet by attaching a charm clasp or tying a knot if using elastic. 8. Optionally, add beads between tiles for extra flair. 9. Allow everything to set for at least 24 hours before wearing the bracelet to ensure all glue is fully cured.
