Kerri has liked this idea so much she made another one for our sister-in-law who is a big photographer. And just for the fun of it, we made her a little camera necklace too!

Great looking bracelet and such a cute camera. Your sister-in-law will love it!
Do you ever have any problems with the paint peeling from the heating process? How do you do it anyway - oven, hot water, heat gun?
Thanks for posting, dee

Dee,
We use a small convection oven that we were using to heat our coffee mugs when we were trying to do color laser transfers. We heat it at 200 degrees for 4 minutes, then pull them out with a glove and wrap them around a small can or bottle. So far we haven't had any problems with it flaking or scratching. As a matter of fact, it appears that the oven bakes the paint and makes it harder...I tried a scratch test and it wouldn't scratch off easily. But it is somewhat fragile because if you try to bend it too much it will snap.

Mike,
Very nice work!
What paint are you using for painting the acrylic?

Just the cheapo Wal-Mart black $.99 spray paint...nothing fancy...
