Grungeboard Bracelet
by Beate Johns
Create a bracelet out of Grungeboard™.
Supplies
- One sheet of Grungeboard (5"x 7 7/8")
- Hobby blade
- Acrylic paint
- Hinge fastener
- Crop-a-Dile™
- Sanding tool
- Scissors
- Dark ink (Walnut Stain Distress ink used here)
- Blending tool
- Embellishments
Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
Cut the Grungeboard to the desired width.
-
The sample measures 1 1/2" wide.
-
Step 2
Round the corners of the strip with scissors.
Hint:
The Crop-A-Dile™ Corner Chomper also works to round the corners of Grungeboard. -
Step 3
Paint the front of your bracelet. Let dry.
Hint:
When using embossed Grungeboard, the front will be the side with the raised pattern.
If using plain Grungeboard, you can emboss it with an embossing folder before painting. -
Flip the bracelet over and paint the back.
-
Step 4
Sand the front of the bracelet.
-
This will remove the acrylic paint from the raised pattern. Clean the dust off the bracelet with a cloth.
-
Step 5
Sponge dark ink onto the sanded Grungeboard.
-
-
Step 6
Spray a piece of cloth lightly with water.
-
Wipe the Grungeboard gently with the damp cloth. The dark ink will come off the painted areas, staining only the sanded areas.
-
Step 7 (Optional)
Paint the piece with Pearl acrylic paint for a soft shimmer.
-
Step 8
Center a 3/16" hole punch on one end of your strip and punch a hole.
-
Hint:
Offset the hole punch just a tad and punch again for a slightly bigger hole. It will make it easier to close the bracelet. -
Step 9
Fold the other end of the strip behind the end with the punched hole.
-
Step 10
Keeping the bracelet closed, punch a 1/8" hole through the bigger hole.
-
-
Step 11
Place the screw end of your hitch fastener through the 1/8" hole.
-
Screw on the top of the fastener.
-
Step 12
Close your bracelet.
-
Add embellishments.

Your braclets are grand! Did you just cut out the flower or use the Sissix?
The bracelet is awesome! Will definitely be making some of these. Simple enough, but a lovely result.
It was sewn to the bracelet with wax linen and a button.

in order to get a pattern on it. I can run the grunge PAPER through this way, but I can't with the grunge BOARD as it is too long and too thick. Any suggestions on what to do??

You will have to first emboss on part of the grungeboard, then emboss the other. Why wouldn't that work with grungeboard?
