To make a bracelet, Candice needs 2 oval-shaped beads and 8 circular-shaped beads.

She has 32 oval-shaped beads, which means she can make 32/2 = 16 bracelets using only the oval-shaped beads.

She also has 38 circular-shaped beads, which means she can make 38/8 = 4.75 bracelets using only the circular-shaped beads.

Since Candice cannot make a fractional number of bracelets, the maximum number of bracelets she can make is limited by the number of circular-shaped beads she has. Therefore, she can only make 4 bracelets using the circular-shaped beads.

So, Candice can make a total of 20 bracelets.
