velvet wrapped friendship bangle
You will need a wood or plastic bangle from the craft store as well as velvet ribbon or fabric scraps and some fabric glue. I prefer Fabritac or a gluegun would work fine too.
Simply measure out a few yards of ribbon, no worries if it's not long enough to cover the whole bracelet you can always cut another piece. Glue one end of the ribbon down using the fabric glue onto the inside of the bangle. Wrap the ribbon evenly around the bracelet until the entire piece is covered. Glue down the other end and use a clip or clothes pin to keep it tight while it's drying. Get creative and glue on any fun fabric rosettes or vintage jewelry you can find or make a color block version like I did. These are so easy and so addicting!!

Super cute! so you Lizzy :) my daughter would love to try that, I think I'll pick up a bracelet next time I go to the store with some fun ribbon, this would make a cute birthday party craft too...oooh my mind is reeling with idea, thanks!!
I agree with Laurie - GREAT birthday party craft! Or even a rainy day craft with the littles. I bet you could find a lot of these big bangle bracelets at Goodwill, too, maybe even some ribbon!
Ok, one more thought - you could take this a step further for boys and create super hero wrist cuffs with a bit of embellishment! All of the littles in my life are girls, but I know the boys would have loved to have super hero cuffs when they were little guys!
Super fun! Great ideas for sleepovers too! maybe I'll have to pick some up the next time I go to a sleepover! ;D
What a fun diy!! The colors combinations are endless! Love this
Cute idea! My daughter got some plain bracelets for her birthday, we may have to try this out.
