Our Jewelry Team put together this awesome D.I.Y.! This is an easy and fun way to spruce up your bracelet collection. Just follow the steps below and you will have fabric-wrapped bangle bracelets of your own!
Check out the fabric wrapped bangles we made for our August Catalog.
Materials:
Fabric
Scissors
Bangles
Glue
Step 1. Gather all your supplies. I recommend picking out fabrics with colorful prints for a great pop! Inexpensive bangles can be found at any arts & craft store. Both wood and plastic bangles work great. Remember to pick out bangles that fit on your wrist easily, since you will be adding thickness to the bangle when fabric is added.
Step 2. Cut your fabric into thick long strips. Quickly fold in the edges of the fabric, so a nice clean edge shows on the finished bangle.
Step 3. Glue one end of the fabric to the inside of the bangle. I recommend using strong multi-purpose glue like E6000.
Step 4. Wrap the fabric around the bangle tightly and continue until the whole bangle is covered! Once mastering this technique try wrapping the bangle with 3 or 4 different fabric strips to achieve a different look.
Step 5. Once the bangle is completely wrapped, trim the excess fabric, fold under the edge to prevent frayed edges, and glue to the inside of the bangle.
Step 6. BRAVO! These bangles are great to wear by themselves or together, and add a splash of eclectic color to any outfit!
