Ingredients

Instructions

  • Prep the fabric. Cut a long, narrow strip of fabric about 1 inch wide. I cut mine from selvage edge to selvage edge of my fabric. That makes the strip about 36-45" wide so it will cover the entire bangle bracelet in one piece.
  • Wrap the bangle. Use a small dab of hot glue on the bracelet and place one end of the fabric into it to secure it. Begin wrapping the fabric tightly around the bangle, overlapping the fabric slightly as you go.
  • Secure the fabric. When you have wrapped the entire bracelet overlap the first fabric you wrapped. Add a small dab of glue and wrap the fabric into this glue- let cool. Trim off the extra of the fabric strip. You can leave your boho bracelet like this or add another layer of fun!
  • Option 1- Add wire. Cut a piece of lightweight craft wire to about 3 feet (36") long. Leave a one inch "tail" of wire, hold the wire to start it and then wrap it around the fabric-covered bangle (like you did the fabric).
  • Option 2- Add beads to the wire. Slide a few beads onto the wire before starting to wrap the bracelet. Continue as you did wrapping the wire alone. Place the beads a couple at a time as you wrap it around the bracelet.
  • Finish the wire. When you get back to the beginning of the wire, twist the two ends together. Snip the two ends, push them down against the bracelet. Place a dab of glue over the ends to hold them down and keep them from scratching or catching. Repeat, wear and enjoy! Make a stack of several boho bracelets together for a fun, colorful boho look.
