Ensure that the glue is clear and does not shatter easily. Two-part epoxy glue (which you mix by hand) or E-6000 work best for this. b
The knot may try to undo itself as you take the bracelet on or off. If this happens, ask a friend to pull the knot tight as you try it on.
Some glues, such as E-6000, involve fumes. Try gluing the bracelet outside. (When it is dry, the fumes will be gone and it will be safe. ) If your beads are translucent, try not to get glue inside the beads, as it may make them less shiny. A thicker glue will be easier to keep out of the center of the beads.
Don’t get a cheap balloon, as these will pop easily. You may even want to put one balloon inside of another balloon before filling it, as a precaution. If you have an allergy to latex, use latex-free balloons.
If you’ve “double-bagged” the balloons, be sure to tie both of the balloons, not just one. Tuck the innermost knot into the second balloon, and then knot the outermost balloon.
You can also add some lightweight decorations, such as metallic confetti, to the glitter jar. This can add some extra sparkles when you shake the jar. If you or the recipient has poor coordination, this may not be the best choice for a stim toy, as a glass jar will break if dropped, and the hot water required in the project may melt a plastic jar.
This may not be the best stim toy for you to make if you have poor fine motor control or can’t sew, since it does require sewing.
