Painting.
It is better to paint metallic with acrylic paint not with a brush, but with a sponge, slightly touching the skin. In the photo there are three colors of paints: gold, bronze, turquoise.

The basis of the bracelet.
While the parts are drying, prepare the base for the bracelet. A thick plastic bottle of building silicate glue is well suited for the base. She does not bend, sits tightly on her hand. With a knife, cut the bottle to the width you need, divide the resulting ring as shown in the photo.

Now you need to cover the base with leather. The width of the strip of leather for tightening the base of the bracelet must be calculated so that a segment of the strip could encircle the base from the outside and inside. Lubricate the suede side with PVA glue and carefully tighten the base of the bracelet. To make the skin easily go down, you can wipe the front side with a wet towel. Allow the glue to dry, then paint as well as flowers.

Collection of flowers.
You need to collect the flowers in a lock (2,3,4, stamens), glue the middle of the honey with hot glue. Stamens (in the photo these are short strips of 3-5 cm with notches) curl into a tight circle, glue the ends, fluff and glue in the middle of the last upper flower.
