DIY Nicole Miller Inspired Textile Bangles

I first spotted these bangles in my December/January edition of Teen Vogue and knew they would be perfect for a DIY tutorial. That's why I love Teen Vogue and Vogue and almost any other fashion magazine, they are always stuffed with inspiration for DIY.

Here are the Nicole Miller versions:

And here is mine:

Stuff you need:

Wooden/plastic bangle

Long strip of patterned/printed fabric

1. Leave about 12 cm of excess fabric.

2. Wrap the fabric around the bangle.

3. Once you have finished wrapping the bangle tie a bow with the excess from the end and the beginning of the fabric.

Ta-daa!

DIY Golden Beaded Bangle

So, I began this project thinking I would be making a headband... But somehow I took a complete detour and it turned out as this:

Stuff you need:
Wire
6-8 beads of your choice
Yarn
Glue
Needle-nose pliers

1. Begin by cutting your preferred length of wire that fits around your wrist and place it in a bowl of warm-hot water. This way it will be easier for you to shape the bracelet with a pair of needle-nose pliers.

2. Then put the wire through the beads. Make sure that at least 1 bead has gone through both wire ends so that the circle is held in place.

2. Next, take your yarn and knot it next to the bead that is on both wire ends.

3. Take some glue and rub it along the wire. Knot the yarn when you get a little less than a quarter of the way through the circular wire. Cut the yarn and repeat three more times.

Ta-daa!
