Joe Gibken Bracelets/Necklace Post!

So I’ve been asked many times about my Joe Gibken bracelets, and necklace. So here’s my long over due post! :) 

First up!
The Blue Bracelet.

Info:
The bracelet is a bit over 11in long, and 2in wide w/ the rectangles.
Its actually a little bit too big on me, but an inch or two less, it would fit perfectly.

The materials used:
Craft foam, plywood, buttons, thumb tacks, hot glue, and mod podge.

Process:
First I cut the craft foam, 3 long strips, and 4 tabs, then sealed them all with mod podge. The next part was rather tedious, I measured out the rectangles for the bracelet, and then used my dremel to carefully out the inside spaces. Next I attached, one end of the 3 strips, between two tabs. Then I threaded each strip into the rectangles, and attached the end between the other two tabs. Next I took thumb tacks (13 of them.) broke of the stabby part, and spray painted silver gluing them to where they go.  So the last part is attaching the buttons, and making sure they snap on properly.

 Black Bracelet.

Info:
This was pretty easy to make, not 100% perfect, but you can used it to make your own (most likely better than mine.) x)

Materials Used:
Leather strips, floral wire, sculpty, super glue.

Process:
The strips I got were too thick, so I cut them in half. I made the lock part first, making the main body from clay, and used floral wire for the loop. Next I started by twisting the ends of the strips, it helped to hold the twist over a flame to keep their shape. I left a little part untwisted so I could loop it through the lock, and glue it to itself.  The once thats finished, just knot the end.

The Necklace. 



First, I didnt make the pendant. I actually found someone selling a resin copy of it. (He actually has one for sale on ebay which is ending soon! But send him a very friendly message, to see if he could make one for you.)

Reference if you’re sculpting yours:
It’s a little over 2in high, 1 3/4in wide. 

The chain itself I picked up from Michaels.


So thats all, I also have his belts, and chains, but I havent gotten much about them. So I hope this helped guys, and good luck with your cosplays! :3
