Fun with Decals
I don’t have a photo of the decal sheet that I bought so I’m substituting the image from Milestone Decals. I’ve always liked antique maps and compass roses. The decals came on a single sheet and I cut them out with scissors and applied them to small glass circles that I had cut.

Tiny Circles
A 1″ diameter circle might be about the smallest that I can cut. Here’s an example of one of the decals on a white circle of glass and capped with a clear piece of glass, both 3mm thick.

Final Result
On one of these projects I’ll have to show how the jewelry findings are attached. But here are the two finished bracelets, a small and a large. The decals retained their vibrant colors and details. I’ve used silver bails and loops to link the glass circles, and the clasp is magnetic. I thought that might be handy, so to speak.
