[ diy fabric bracelets ]

LOOKING FOR a cute way to give your old bangles a lift for spring? Why not wrap them in cute fabric? So easy to do, all you need are strips of fabric (frayed edges add to the charm) and some masking tape. Just adhere one end of fabric strip to the bangle with tape and start wrapping. If you need to add more fabric, tape down the next piece and cover it by wrapping as you go. When you get to the end, just tie in a knot (or you can glue gun it if you want to get out your gun). And voila! Pretty new bangles for little to no money!


Or create some braided bracelets by simply weaving strips of jersey fabric through your fingers by following Vanessa's easy instructions here.


Happy creating!
