Steps:1. Lightly sand each domino on the blank side. Wipe with a damp cloth. 2. Stamp selected image on each game piece (figure A). Set ink with the heat gun. 3. Color images with permanent pigment-ink brush markers (figure B). Set the ink with the heat gun. 4. Mark drilling holes on each game piece with a fine-tip permanent marker. Use a ruler to measure 1/4 inch from each end on the 3/8-inch side of the game piece. Carefully drill two holes through each domino piece where marked (figure C). 5. Color the outside edges of each game piece with the permanent pigment ink brush markers (figure D). Set the ink with the heat gun. 6. Seal each domino with the clear acrylic floor wax. Let the image side dry completely before sealing the sides. Let all pieces dry completely. 7. Use elastic cording to string the bracelet with a bead between each domino (figure E). 8. Tie a double knot in each elastic cord. Trim ends and hide the knot in a bead.
