Lately, I’ve seen fabric bracelets everywhere! Charming Charlie, Forever 21, Target…they all have them.
Don’t get me wrong, I {pink puffy heart} these stores for their cheap accessories, but fabric wrapped around a piece of plastic? I’m not paying you $8-12 for one. Nice try.
So I took matters into my own hands and made this little cutie 
$1 clearance bracelet + fabric scraps = one killer accessory!
SUPPLIES: bracelet, fabric, fabric glue, scissors, tape measure (optional: spray adhesive)
Measure both the width and circumfrence of the bracelet.
Cut a strip of fabric 1/2 wider and at least 2x as long as the circumfrence of the bracelet. The longer the strip, the more pleats you will have.
Glue down a folded edge on both short sides and one long side. You can leave the other long edge un-hemmed.
Fold pleats along the length of the fabric. Adjust pleats until your strip is 1/2 inch longer than the circumfrence of your bracelet.
Glue down the underside of the pleats.
Using either fabric glue or spray adhesive, wrap fabric around the bracelet.
**My fabric was rather thin, so I used spray adhesive so the glue wouldn’t show through too much**
Tuck in the un-hemmed egde of the fabric to the inside of the bracelet.
Tuck the hemmed edge in over the un-hemmed, and glue down.
Stack with your favorite bangles and rock your new look! There are so many options, I can’t wait to make some more!
what a great idea!
I absolutely LOVE this girl!! Great Job!!!
