What's in your kit:

• 6 Bracelet Tubes (Can Be Trimmed to Size)

• 3 Glitter Colors

• 2 Gemstone Colors

• 6 Connectors

• 1 Funnel

Make Your Own Liquid Glitter Bracelets

Before You Begin

• Set up your work area first. Lay down paper towels to catch drips and spills.
• Lay out everything in the kit so it's all within reach before you begin.
• You will also need water from a faucet and a pair of scissors if you need to shorten the bracelet tubing.
• Adult supervision is recommended because the kit contains small parts.
• Before cutting the bracelet tube, measure around the widest part of your hand, including the knuckles and thumb, so the finished bracelet can slide on and off.
• Do not cut the tubing shorter than 6 ¾ inches (17.5 cm) or it may kink. 

Step 1: Measure the Bracelet Tube

• Wrap one bracelet tube around the widest part of your hand.
• Make sure it fits comfortably and can slide over your hand.
• If the tube is too long, use scissors to trim the excess from one end.
• Make the cut straight and smooth, not angled, so the connector will fit properly.
• Do not make the tube shorter than 6 ¾ inches (17.5 cm). 

Step 2: Add the Connector

• Choose one of the short, smaller-diameter connector tubes.
• Push the connector into one end of the bracelet tubing.
• Insert it only about halfway.
• Leave the other half sticking out so you can use it later to close the bracelet.
• If the connector is difficult to insert, wet it slightly with water to help it slide in.
• Ask an adult for help if needed

Step 3: Add Glitter and Gems

• Place the included funnel onto the open end of the bracelet tube.
• Choose any combination of glitter and gems you want.
• Pour a small amount into the funnel.
• Gently tap the side of the funnel to help the glitter and gems move down into the tube.
• Adjust or tap the bracelet tube if needed to help the decorations move through.
• Continue adding decorations until you are happy with the look.

Tip: Do not overfill the bracelet. About half a packet of glitter or gems, or even less, is enough because the decorations will move around once the water is added. 

Step 4: Fill the Bracelet with Water

• Remove the funnel before adding water.
• Do not use the funnel for this step.
• Turn on the cold water so only a small trickle is running.
• Hold the bracelet tube in a U shape, with both open ends pointing upward and at about the same height.
• Place the open end of the tube under the small stream of water.
• Fill the tube slowly.
• Be careful not to let the water overflow or push the glitter and gems out of the other end.

Step 5: Close the Bracelet

• Once the bracelet tube is completely full of water, hold it carefully so the water does not spill out.
• Pinch or hold the end that already has the connector so you do not accidentally push the connector farther inside.
• Quickly slide the open end of the bracelet tube onto the exposed half of the connector.
• Push it on until both ends are evenly joined and the bracelet is securely closed.
• If water spills out before you finish, refill the bracelet and try again.
• Ask an adult for help if needed. 

Step 6: Dry and Wear Your Bracelet

• Dry the outside of the bracelet with a paper towel.
• Check that both ends are securely connected.
• Slide the bracelet over your hand and onto your wrist.
• Move it around and watch the glitter and gems float through the water.
• Repeat the process to make more bracelets with different glitter and gem combinations.
