Bracelet Bender

thingiverse

People often shape 2x15 cm tongue depressors into distinctive bracelets using a special bending tool. First, immerse the tongue depressor in water until it becomes fully saturated. This helps to warm up the water or even boils it slightly for added effect. Next, carefully curve the tongue depressor on the bender and secure it with elastics. For better results, submerge the entire setup and let it rest for a little while after adding each elastic. Leave everything submerged for several hours before carefully removing it and letting it air dry for an entire day. After removing the elastics, you will have perfectly shaped wooden bracelets that can be decorated to your liking.
