~HOW TO ASSEMBLE PIECES~	EASY BRACELETS...JUST GLUE IT!! (OR WIRE WRAP IT !! :) It's So Easy To Make Stunning Brooches, Bracelets, Pendants And Earrings With E6000 Glue. When Gluing Small Parts, I Squeese A Dab Of Glue Onto A Piece Of Waxed Paper And Use A Toothpick To Pick Up The Amount Of Glue I Want To Place On My Piece. When Gluing On A Pin Back (For Making Brooches), Be Sure To Use Enough Glue So It Seeps Over The Edge. You Can Cover The Glue On The Pinback By Placing A Small Filigree Or Even A Piece Of Leather Over It :) Be Sure To Go To The Bottom Of This Page To See More Photos Of Bracelet Designs That Use A Combination Of Brass, Copper And Silver :) GIVE IT A TRY...YOU CAN "GLUE" IT!
1. Select the filigree you are going to use as your centerpiece backing. If you are making a bracelet, you will first bend your filigree so it has the same curve as the bracelet. 2. Set all the stones you are going to be using to create your centerpiece design. In this example, I am using a 25X18 Black Diamond facted stone. It is set in the pronged setting so no glue is needed. I have also chosen to use two 10X8 flatback Amethyst stones. These are set by gluing them into the 10X8 bezel settings. 3. Glue your stones onto the filigree and then glue on any other ornate stampings you have selected. In this example, I used two small stampings and glued them to the top and bottom of the filigree. 4. Let the completed filigree centerpiece dry for 24 hours to be sure all the pieces are secure. Then spray with a clear matte/satin lacquer if desired :) Note: before spraying, "mask" your stones with masking tape to protect them from being sprayed. 5. Glue your centerpiece onto a bracelet or glue on a pin back if you are making a brooche. FAST, EASY, GORGEOUS! NOTE: Antique or age all of your brass components before starting this project.	SO EASY! Just Think Of The Different Designs You Can Make By Just Using Different Filigrees And Stones! VARIATIONS The filigree and/or the stones in this piece could have been turned lengthwise instead of vertical :) Dangle beads, chain or charms from the openings along the edges of the filigree. Additional smaller stones could have been added :)
This is a brooche (pin) variation. In this example you can see how chain and beads are attached to the filigree edges. This could have also been a necklace (instead of gluing on a "pin back", I could have attached a neckchain to the filigree edges a the top left and top right :)	This bracelet is made so easily by just wire wrapping (sewing) the dragonfly onto the openings in the filigree cuff then attaching charms with jumprings. There are just a million and one things you can do with these vintage filigree cuffs! Available at my shop at www.VintageBeadShop.etsy.com
