DIY: wrapped bangles

Recently inspired by this embroidery floss napkin ring tutorial, I decided to use that idea to make some bangles. This would be a great way to give a facelift to some thrifted or unworn bangles, orrrrr you could do what I did and go buy some at the $1 jewelry store! Come on, I got 3 for $1, you can't beat that.

Here's how it went down:



1. Buy/find some bangles to use...
2. ...and some embroidery floss (I got mine at Hobby Lobby and it was a multi-pack of a zillion colors).
3. Start wrapping! I secured mine with a touch of mod podge (cause that was what I had) and wrapped and wrapped, then when I finished a color I mod-podged a tail down flat to wrap the next color over.. eh? See what I'm saying here?

Then I just kept on wrapping and changing colors as I felt like and at the end I mod-podged the tail on the inside again, and you can see the finished product, ta daa!

You could pick a color scheme, like I did, or just do random colors, hombre, rainbow, two color stripes... whatever you feel like!  Easy peasey japanesey, and kind of a zen-inducing activity if you like that sort of thing.

Here is another embroidery floss wrapping jewelry idea I saw recently that I may experiment with next.
