  3. Paint the inside of the tube with white paint and allow to dry, then apply a second coat. When dry, repeat on the outside of the tube.

  5. When dry apply small dots of the Extra Strong Multi-Purpose Glue to the cardboard tube to apply the iridescent jewels in a random pattern until it is all covered. Use the smallest jewels to place in the small gaps.
  6. To make the leopard print and butterfly bracelet, paint and decorate with gems accordingly.
