I’m totally geeking out over my latest project! I LOVE LOVE LOVE it and I hope you will too 
Come check it out and then I’ll show you how to make one yourself.
Comic Book Cuff Bracelet
The Octopode Factory just released these awesome Avengers images. My last attempt at creating an Octopode Factory Charm Bracelet worked out well so I decided to try it again with the new images and a slightly different spin.
I LOVE comic book art! I created this bracelet with Comic Book clippings left over from one of my favorite creations of ALL TIME…The Comic Book School Desk! I managed to squeeze out a Flower pot with the leftovers from that project too. It’s only natural that I would want an awesome cuff bracelet to feel extra Super. Now all I need is a cape!
I really love it…I’m wearing it now and I feel like a total bad ass! Okay, I won’t torture you any longer here’s how you can make a Super Cuff Bracelet for yourself. Just let me grab my cape…
How to Make a Comic Book Cuff Bracelet:
I got a huge lot of comics on Ebay for $10 way back when I was working on the school desk. Just search for comic book lot.
Yup its ribbon! Heavy grosgrain ribbon. Just goes to show you that you really can Mod Podge ANYTHING! Mod Podge is MY Super Hero!
Clear nail polish is pretty Super too…although I rarely use it on my nails…that’s what Mod Podge is for isn’t it?
You can use any clasp you want. I just like the magnetic kind because I have no patience for lobster clasps. I have no patience for shoelaces either….Where’s the velcro at??
Shrink Plastic Charms
You know what else is Super? Copic Markers that’s what! Gelly Roll pens are pretty awesome too…I used those for detailing. You can check out another tutorial on how to use Gelly Roll Pens on Copic Art HERE.
I happened to have a Super Hero Sentiment set from Recollections that I honestly haven’t used since my son’s Mario Party. Stamp with Archival ink and Sprinkle Ranger Holographic embossing powder over the image but don’t heat it…the toaster will take care of that!
*Leave a thick ring around the hole or it will break when you add jump rings.
About 3 minutes in the oven and they are ready to wear!
Watch out Wonder Woman
This is my I’m a Bad Ass face. I decided to leave my cape at home so I would blend in. I can’t have the civilians knowing about my super (crafty) powers.
Well I’m off to save the world! Thanks for stopping by!
Have a “Super” day!

I am so impressed and amused with this project! SUPER creative. I’ve been trying to brainstorm lately, on a project to use shrinkydink material, but this idea FLIES! I pinned it. ; )

Laura I have been OBSESSED with shrink plastic lately….I swear it NEVER gets old
I’m trying a new technique as we speak with stamped shrink plastic and ice resin….we’ll see how it turns out.
I love this, so cool. I thought it was a leather cuff. Love the idea of using ribbon! Thanks for the how to x

Holy Shrinking Plastic, Batman! A Superhero Cuff? But my parents are still alive and my bankroll doesn’t support a batcave- it’s a miracle!
Are you monitoring my DVR? Are my kids’ (& hubby’s) rooms bugged??
Honestly, I take a few days (okay, more like a week) off from my blog list and Octopode Factory comes out with Avengers images…. wait right here. I need to finish my Paypal action- there! Now I can fight crime in style! And plan a party.
Thanks Amy! I almost missed out on that one.
