all i see are directions to enhance the appearance of the bracelets. no were in these direction do i see how you make the bracelets itself. what do you do with the bristle end of the toothbrush? how do you turn a straight piece of plastic into the round and work the ends, in to the bracelet so it is a closed circle and be a perfectly round bracelet that you show in the picture already made and ready to follow the instructions on the page to make them beautiful.

Hi Cheeny--thanks for your comment. Actually the bracelets are wooden bangles that you can buy at almost any craft store. The wooden bangle is listed in the materials list, in case you missed it :) As for the toothbrush, that's used to decorate the bangle. You can use it as a paint brush or use it to add texture to your bangle. Hope that helps! --FaveCrafts Editor
