Wool Wrapped Bangles



Jewelry is a great accessory that anyone can wear. Some of the best made jewelry is that jewelry that is homemade. One great piece of jewelry are bangles. These are easy to make on your own and one way to make them is by using wool to wrap around different things. When I did this craft I used mailing tubes to wrap my wool around.

Materials Needed:

Scissors
Clothespin
Plain plastic bangle bracelets or Mailing tubes
Yarn or ribbon
Fabric glue

Instructions:

1. Create a ball of yarn slightly larger than a golf ball.

2. Densely wrap the yarn around a plastic bangle bracelet, making sure to neatly keep the yarn aligned, and pulling tightly as you go.
Tip: Work over a table or in lap in case the ball slips out of your hands.

3. Finish by overlapping a few wraps at the point where you started. Glue the strand of yarn in place along the inside of the bracelet with a fabric glue.

4. Hold the glued end of yarn in place with a clothespin and allow to dry. Once the glue has fully dried, snip off the extra yarn.

5. Bangles can be covered in thin decorative ribbon using the same process.
