Cloth Bracelet

Cloth Bracelet

I got this idea off of a blog. I thought it was cute! After I did mine though, I would've done things differently, so learn from my mistakes!

Supplies:

Cloth

Large Beads

Thread

Jewelry Wire

Jewelry hook

Alright, make sure your cloth is twice the length of your bracelet. (You're going to be twisting it, so you need plenty of room to work with!) Don't make the cloth too wide, otherwise you'll make it too thick.

*I wished I would've gotten a smaller design print. When you see the ending result, you can't see my circles I chose for the fabric.*

Take the wire and attach the hook to the end. Then string your first bead.

Take your thread, and wrap it around, and around, and around, and around (well you get the picture) of the first bead to start your bracelet. Make sure to knot off the thread so it won't come undone.
* I also wish here that I would've picked a better color to blend in with the fabric more (like white).*

Now do the same thing on the other side of the bead. MAKE SURE YOU WRAP IT TIGHT! Thread on the next bead, and repeat this step until you get the bracelet the length that you want.

When you're done, attach the jewelry circle (pictured below in front of the bracelet) to the end of the wire.

Now you have a new accessory! Like I said, I would've picked a different fabric and thread, but it still turned out cute!

Happy Craftin' Y'all!
