"JASON HARRIS: Hi, I'm Jason with ExpertVillage.com. Today, we're making a bracelet out of wire, coaxial cable and a razorblade. And so far we've got our beads. We've cut them out of the coaxial cable. We've flattened the sides on all four sides of the inside and the outside of the bead. And when you put the middle of the bead in you can see that it's or you can feel--you're going to be able it. It's not in there super secure. We took out all of the inside wire and insulation that keeps the bead inside, so we're just going to need to take a little bit of glue. And I just use this. It works good on cement and on plastic, wood, things like that. So we're just going to take a tiny bit and put a tiny drop on the inside of the black part of the bead. And before I put the bead itself in, I'm going to take--where's my stick? Take a stick or something that I can put--I can just kinda put inside and shove the glue all the way through so there's not just a buildup of it. And I'll twist that around in so the whole inside of the bead gets coated and that will help it dry faster and keep it more in place. So do that to both sides of your bead. And you can see when the glue comes out, just hold it up and look there and you can see the glue has coated the whole inside. I'll just take the inside of the bead, put it in on both sides and then the stick that you've just put all the way through, take a tiny bit of glue, put on the end, so there's not a whole bunch, and just put on both sides of the bead. And that's going to keep it from going anywhere for sure, and it will give it an easier surface to paint on and it will fill in any gaps that were in there, so that it's smooth all the way around. So we'll let that dry. And while we're letting that dry, we'll make our clasps for the next step."
