instructions
  1. Studded Bangle - 1. Cut a piece of cotton fabric twice the width of a wide bangle and slightly longer than the circumference. Secure the fabric on the outside of the band with double-sided tape and fix the raw edges inside with glue.

    2. Cut a second, narrow strip of fabric with pinking shears to prevent fraying and glue this over the raw edges on the inside. Dot PVA along both edges of the bracelet and fix alternating colours of flat backed ‘nail head’ studs 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.
