Looking for a bracelet to match that favorite outfit? Think you can't make your own? Think of yourself as "craft challenged"? Love bracelets? Love yarn, too? Combine these for a different look.
It's easy.
It's inexpensive.
Even the most " craft challenged" can show creativity and imagination! These bracelets are SUPER easy to make and coordinate to every outfit.
No knitting or crocheting.
No fancy bead work.
No special equipment to buy.
You'll need a Plastic Bangle Bracelet (it doesn't matter the width as long it fits your wrist), Yarn (any will work but the thicker the better) and white glue.
Tip: Cut yarn into lengths - it's easier to work with.
Apply a small amount of glue to one section of inside of bracelet and begin wrapping with yarn.
Continue to apply glue and wrap with yarn until entire bracelet is covered.
Cut yarn and apply additional glue to secure yarn end to inside of bracelet.
Allow to dry.
For a striped look: Hold one strand each of 2 different color yarns together, then apply glue and wrap bracelet same as before.
Cover a bracelet you already have, or make your own with cardboard, using a section of a mailing tube or any other tube that fits your wrist.
I've seen the most extraordinary creations from this craft.
The different the color (or colors) used, the different the bracelet.
Thickness of yarns used create unique effects, too.
Combine different colors and thicknesses for a REALLY different effect.
WARNING: It can become an addictive past time!
