Hi everyone, I’m Jen, and I’m 1/2 of the blogging duo behind Eat. Sleep. MAKE. I’ve been crafting for as long as I can remember, and I haven’t been able to stop since. I have a love for creating pretty much everything. You name it, I’ve tried it (which has also led to quite a few crafting failures!)
Eat. Sleep. MAKE. is a creative collaboration between my sister-in-law, Shannon, and I. We love to share fun and easy projects that pretty much anyone can do.
When I spotted some bangles in the dollar bin at one of my local craft stores, I knew they were destined to be transformed into something awesome.
SUPPLIES: 1 bangle, 2 packages each of 2 different colors of embroidery floss, glue gun and glue.
This project is really easy, but the wrapping can take some time. Grab a snack and catch up on your DVR’d shows while you make your bangles!
ONE: First, put a little dab of hot glue on the inside of your bangle and attach the end of one of your colors of floss.
TWO: Next, begin to tightly wrap your bangle with the floss, pushing the threads close together as you go.
THREE: When you are satisfied with the width of your first color, clip your floss and secure on the inside of your bangle with another dot of hot glue. Attach the end of your second color of floss with hot glue and begin to wrap around your bangle like before, making sure to keep the threads tightly wound as you go.
FOUR: When you reach the end just secure with hot glue and you’re done!
How easy was that? Now you have a personalized bangle that you can tailor to any outfit depending on what thread color you choose.
Thanks for reading, and I hope you’ll come visit Shannon and I on Eat. Sleep. MAKE. where you can check out some of our other great projects and DIY’s!
