DIY Fabric Bracelets Tutorial

Looking to add some color to your spring wardrobe? How about some DIY fabric bracelets. 

 Before we get started I must disclose that I have seen this idea around the web.  It's not original to me, however, my method is so I'm sharing the tutorial with you.  That said, let's get started.

I can not for the life of my think of the word for the cotton cord you use to put piping on pillows and what not.  Anyway, that's what I used inside these bracelets.  Cut the cord long enough to fit around your wrist with enough slack to slip over your hand (like a bangle bracelet).  With your favorite fabric glue (one that's really sticky like fabri-tac) or hot glue, glue the ends of your rope to create a circle.

I chose to tear my fabric strip so that it gave a bit of a tattered edge, you may choose to cut yours, but it will tatter with age a bit (unless your using jersey).  You will need a long strip about an inch wide.  Gluing as your wrap, go around your bracelet a couple of times.  This will help hold everything together as well as give it a nice look.  When you get to the end, tuck and glue on the inside.

I will warn you, it's a bit addicting.  If they get wet (my kids decided mine needed to take a swim for some reason) you can toss them into a garment bag and into the dryer.  This all happened before I took the photos shown so you can see, no harm done.

Mix and Match!
