Step 1:
Use masking tape to prepare the geometric patterns to be painted. It should be straight and smooth on the side where you're going to apply the paint. Watch out for air bubbles and creases.

Step 2:
For the paint, you can either use chalky chalk paint or acrylic paint. To obtain a very light pink with acrylic paint, mix white and red. Proceed as follows: Pour a little white into a plastic lid/plate, then add red in very small dabs and mix. Add a little more red if necessary, always in small quantities. When mixing, always pour the darkest color into the lightest. Acrylic darkens as it dries. Test on a corner of the plate and allow to dry a little to see the color obtained.

Step 3:
Paint your bracelet, taking care to paint in the right place and not overflowing. Don't put too much paint on the brush, and spread it evenly over the bracelet so as not to make any "lumps". Paint from the masking tape towards the center of the pattern, not the other way round, as the paint will run under the masking tape. For the golden triangle, applyinka-gold with a brush as for normal paint. You can also use light paint.

Wait for the paint to dry between coats. Lay the bracelet at an angle on a support to avoid marking the paint. Don't apply more than 3 coats of paint, as this will create a thick layer when you remove the masking tape.
