Glow-in-the-Dark Armband

Description

Hey look! Sparkly, shiny, glow-in-the-dark art!

This is a cuff thing meant to be worn around the upper arm, as can be seen in the top centre and top right photos. Or I guess it could be a normal bracelet too if you have thicker forearms than I do. (Which is not a tall order at all. My wrists are quite scrawny.)

Inside diameter is about 7.5cm; inner circumference measures about 22.5cm. It isn't too heavy at all and even around my decidedly non-meaty arms it stays in place pretty well.

It's made out of glow-in-the-dark Fimo over plaster over the cardboard ring from a used-up roll of tape. The little loops which the chain attaches to were superglued to the plaster layer before I put the clay on, so they're anchored in there really well. It has been lacquered in several coats of high-gloss varnish. The decorations are blue glass stones, blue beads, magenta and pale green sparkly tiles, and nickel-free silver-tone chain with little heart charms dangling from the ends.

Time Spent: Hell if I know. I worked on it an hour or two here, a half-hour there over the course of a few days.

Tools & Materials: Cardboard ring from empty masking tape roll; that fabric-strip plaster of Paris stuff (plaster bandages?); glow-in-the-dark Fimo; cut-offs from silver-tone eye-pins I used for another project; superglue; 4 blue glass stones; 4 sparkly green tiles; 8 sparkly magenta tiles; 36 flat rectangular blue glass beads; oven; baking sheet; 16 eye-pins, rounded square blue glass beads and small silver-tone metal hearts; a lot of silver-tone chain; 64 jumprings (plus 16 more which came with the heart pendants); high-gloss varnish; flat-, needle- and roundnose pliers; angle cutters; metal file; Dremel and bristle-brush wheel thing.

This is available for sale or trade. Asking $50 CAD, shipping not included. Note me if interested.
