For this project you will need three things,
– Sweaters that you don’t mind cutting up, I found mine at Goodwill for three dollars, look for chunky sweaters or the cable knit type, with long sleeves if possible.
-Bangle bracelets, they can be plastic, wood or metal, I found several at the thrift store, also look at stores like H&M and Claire’s I found a bunch in the dollar bin.
-Costume jewelry, broken pins, necklaces anything with a little bling, I even used one of the sparkly gems that fell off my flip-flop last summer.
-Fabric glue, I really like fabric tack, but there are several great brands to choose from.
Here’s the video, super easy, cheap and cheerful, give them to your friends and family… They might even think you got them at Anthropologie 🙂
As shown in the video you can also use yarn to wrap your bracelets and give them a warm and cozy look! I wrapped in a strand of pom-poms, you can use so many fun trims to doll up the bangles. If you want a clean simple look, these bracelets are super pretty with just the sweaters alone. If you want to add the sparkle you can purchase the rhinestone chain here in my online shop
Here are photos of the ones I made. I seriously want to make another dozen they were so much fun! One of my viewers suggested that the same technique could be used on headbands I love that idea!
I hope you are enjoying the holiday preparations, I am just getting started on mine… and that’s pretty typical for me.
All of my gifts will be handmade this year, mostly because I’m on a budget, It would be fun to go crazy and buy everyone some awesome presents, but that’s ok, I’m grateful that I have something to give.
Are you making anything handmade this year?
Wishing you a warm and Happy Holiday!
Sincerely,
Debi
these are wonderful! i can’t wait to try this.
when I tried “follow on pinterest” it said it couldn’t find you. When I tried subscribe it said it isn’t enabled. Too bad, so sad, I would of liked to see what you are doing.
What an adorable idea!
Just found you! Loved watching your Glamour Dust Chair Video. Can’t wait to see what else you do. You are adorable and so inspiring!
So clever…and a great way to get more life out of vintage jewelry
I love the bracelets what a great idea!
I love your YouTube! You made me want to redo all my old furniture.. I almost had a garage sale.
