How to make boho bangles.

I was looking on Pintest today, there are so many great ideas on there! I love looking for inspiration on Pinterest, I particully love looking at DIY jewellery displays and ways to display jewellery at events. I have found so many great ideas via Pinterest. While I was on Pinterest today I found this great tutorial on how to make a boho bangle and I just had to share it with you.

Boho bangles are all the rage at the moment and these ones have beautiful vibrate colours that will add a great look to your winter fashion wardrobe. I think they will be easy to make and should fill in a few hours with the kids if they enjoy craft, I know my two nieces are just going to love diving into this on the weekend.

This step by step guide shows you exactly what you need and how to make your very own boho bangles.

What you need:

1. Bangles – you can pick these up at your local op shop or $2 thrift store.

2. Charms and Jump Rings – you can find these at shops like spotlight, Lincraft or once again the $2 thrift store will be able to help

3. Waxed Cotton – I have seen this at my local op shop, Spotlight and Lincraft stores

4. Glue – I find araldite works best, you can get this at the supermarket or hardware store.

Method:

Start by placing a small amount of glue onto the top of the bangle to secure the start of the waxed cotton. Wrap the cotton around and around the bangle until it is totally covered in cotton. Then simply place the charms on the jump rings and place onto the bangle. To make it easier use a pair of pliers to open and close the jump rings, these are not essential but do save you from getting sore and tired fingers.

This is so simple I am sure a 7 or 8 year old could do it. I will let you know how we go on the weekend when my nieces try this out, I would love to see your pictures too if you give it a try for yourself. Post them on our facebook page here.
