HOW TO MAKE BRACELET:

1.  DRILL HOLE IN YOUR SCRABBLE PIECES.

I DRILLED 8.  7 FOR THE TEACHER IMAGES AND ONE MORE FOR THE TREE OF LIFE IMAGE. 

2.  NEXT YOU WANT TO CUT OUT YOUR TEACHER IMAGES AND ALSO TRACE 8 SCRABBLE SIZE PIECES OF SOME TYPE OF COLORED CARDSTOCK..

3.  NEXT YOU WILL MODGE PODGE THE IMAGES ON BOTH SIDES. THE "TEACHER" WILL GO ON ONE SIDE AND THE PLAIN CARDSTOCK PIECES ON THE OTHER.   I MODGE PODGE UNDER AND ON TOP OF IMAGE. 

4.  I THEN TAKE A PIN...  AND POKE THROUGH THE IMAGES WHERE THE HOLE WAS MADE WITH DRILL...

5.  ONCE COMPLETELY DRY, I THEN USE MY DEMENTIONAL MODGE PODGE TO ONE SIDE OF ALL THE SCRABBLE IMAGES AND LET DRY OVER NIGHT AND THEN DO THE OTHER SIDE THE NEXT DAY AND LET DRY OVER NIGHT.

6.  ONCE THESE ARE DRY COMPLETELY, I TAKE MY PIN AGAIN AND POKE THROUGH HOLE TO MAKE SURE IT IS OPEN ENOUGH.

7.  NOW TAKE A SHARPIE AND ON THE BACK WHERE YOU HAVE THE SOLID CARDSTOCK PIECES WRITE A LETTER ON EACH ONE SPELLING OUT THE TEACHER'S LAST NAME...

8. NOW YOU WILL TAKE YOUR JEWELERY WIRE AND CUTTERS AND CUT A SMALL PIECE TO STILL THROUGH SCRABBLE PIECE.  BRING UP ON BOTH SIDES AND TWIST WITH WIRE CUTTER.  CUT OFF ANY ACCESSIVE PIECES. 

9.  NOW PUT A RING THROUGH YOUR TWISTED WIRE PIECE YOU JUST DID.

10.  ONCE DONE WITH ALL OF THESE YOU CAN NOW ATTACH TO YOUR CHARM BRACELET IN ANY ORDER YOU WANT.  I ALTERNATED THE CHARMS BETWEEN IMAGES.....

11.  NOW YOU HAVE A AWESOME UNIQUE TEACHER'S  GIFT!
