Get The Technique
Sometimes I get an idea stuck in my head, but I'm not too sure what I'm going to do about executing it. With Valentine's Day descending on us, I have had heart charms on my mind. Wanting to make a bracelet, but not too clear on what I wanted to make the charms from, it floated in my mind until I saw these plastic stickers when it hit me. Back the stickers to each other, punch a hole, and attach to a bracelet with a jump ring. Done!
1 Sweet plastic Valentine stickers
2 Back same sizes to each other.
3 Punch a hole in desired spot. Hint: the Martha Stewart Screw Punch is great for this task.
4 Insert a jump ring.
5 Attach to chain.
Once I completed the first bracelet, I was happy to see a few other sticker packs that were plastic. They worked like a charm to create two more bracelets. And the good news? It only requires one pack of stickers to create each style.

What a great idea... I'll have to show my step daughters and nieces how to do that

The bracelet is totally cute! I want to make one but I have a silly question, is the plastic strong enough not to break at the jump ring? I don't want to leave a trail of hearts when I wear it! Thanks!

What a cool idea!
Looks like you could make use these back to back stickers and nylon thread for a homemade Valentines garland....

Hi Lourdes - the stickers are pretty think, especially when backed to each other. when making your hole for the jump ring, just make sure it's not too close to the edge and it should be secure.

This is such a great idea! Thanks for sharing it. I made a necklace similar to this once, but a bracelet seems so much more wearable.
It would be a cute project for a birthday party.

So clever! I was thinking that with your idea, you could also Make cell phone charms as well. Earrings, etc. There are so many gorgeous stickers right now!

Ok, you got my motor going
Wouldn't it be cute to do a mmobile out of a hoop with these (painted to coordinate)? You could even stand them up to decorate a cake.
