Tutorial: Designer-Inspired Painted Bangles

Designer-Inspired Tiffany & Co.

MY DIY

Guggenheim’s Bilbao Museum plays host to white bone china torque bangles for Tiffany & Co. painted by Frank Gehry. The price is upon request...in other words, its a whole lotta' money. With a $4 bangle and $2 bottle of paint, a replica could be yours in a matter of minutes.

Materials:
Silver-finished bangles (I found these at Jo-Anns)
Acrylic paint (in fun colors)
Paint brush

With a little paint on your brush, practice painting brush strokes in wavy organic designs on scrap paper.

Once you've mastered paint practice, go ahead and paint the bangle, using it as your canvas.

I had so much fun making these! They truly look one-of-a-kind.

Smother yourself in jewels,
Vanita
