Martha Stewart Craft of the Month

eclectic — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 02:37:33 +0000

As crafters and DIY’ers, we’re huge fans of Martha Stewart (who isn’t?) So, of course, we were thrilled to learn recently that Martha Stewart is a fan of E-6000! And we were equally thrilled to see that she featured E-6000 in three separate projects on her show—using E-6000 to make glittered sneakers, googly-eyed bracelets and painted leather handbags.

We couldn’t be happier to share Martha Stewart’s “Googly-Eyed Bangle Bracelet” as the craft of the month. In the TV segment, Martha and her crew show you how to use E-6000 to add googly eyes to bracelets and even a pair of Michael Kors heels!

This fun, creative project is the perfect craft for Halloween! Check out the instructions below and click through to watch the full tutorial on the Martha Stewart show.

Stay tuned on the blog as we feature the next two projects from Martha Stewart.

Googly-Eyed Bangle Craft

What you’ll need:

Plastic bangle bracelet (new or used)
E-6000 adhesive
Variety pack of googly eyes
Bamboo skewer and beeswax (optional tools)

Easy instructions:

Working in 1-inch sections, spread a layer of E-6000 on the bangle bracelet. Place eyes in glue, filling in the section with various sized eyes.
Repeat to cover entire bracelet.
Let bangle dry overnight.

Martha’s Tip: To pick up smaller eyes, use a “grabber”: a bamboo skewer topped with a piece of beeswax.
