How-To: Ribbon Bangles and Cuffs.

Pin It

Heeeeyyyyyy!

You know what I like?  Making things.  And wearing things.  And wearing things I make. (which is why I don't make swimsuits...)  I like it lots!  I also like to share my "knowledge"with you because I'm a comment whore.

So here's something super easy and super cute!  Best of all, it's probably FREE. (it was for me!)




Supplies:
35 inches or so of ribbon
1 empty cardboard ribbon spool
hot glue (not pictured)










Step 1:  Remove top and bottom cardboard rounds from ribbon spool--this with be the bracelet base!  Discard rounds--OR keep them to trace circles for felt flowers!

Step 2:  Place a small dab of glue on the inside of the bracelet base.  Now start wrapping around and around the base like so:

Step 3:  Continue wrapping around base until totally covered.  Snip off any excess ribbon and add another dab of hot glue to the inside and secure ribbon end.

Step 4:  Rock it!  That's right, rock it!  Or, make a few more to go with your first guy, then rock it.

Optional Step 5:  I always have a supplies of rosettes on hand so I spruced this guy up a little, see?  -------->

*if you want to make a cuff instead of a bangle (maybe your base is too small to get on, maybe you just LOVE cuffs, whatev) just cut out a half inch or so of the base.  It will look like a tight "c".  Then, just follow the steps above!
