instructions
  1. Beaded Bangle - 1. Fix double-sided tape inside a narrow bangle. Begin wrapping striped ribbon around the circumference at an angle to cover the base completely. Secure the end with more tape or glue. Cut a length of spotty ribbon slightly longer than the circumference of the bracelet.

    2. Trim ricrac to the same length and place on top. Stitch the two braids together, incorporating seed beads at the same time. Wrap the beaded ribbon around the bracelet and slip stitch each side to the striped base to hold in place.

  2. Make it yours - Don’t hold back by covering the whole bracelet with the same materials. Divide the bangle into sections and mix and match fabrics.
