DIY Advent 8: Bangle with Lace and Tulle

In summer I have bought about ten simple metal bracelets ( Kik, each for EUR 1, -) with the intention to spice them up with different materials. Said – done. So far, I have covered them with shells, rhinestones, leather and studs, cords, sequins and feathers. One of the last “naked” bracelets I take here, to show you a romantic style with lace trim and tulle. I hope you like it;)

For this DIY tutorial you need:

1 tulle (double folded slightly smaller than the bangle and at least three times as long as the bracelet), lace fabric, and various lace (huge selection here at DaWanda)
2 a nice (fitting) button
3 bangle
4 craft glue
5 scissors
6 2 clothes pins (not in the picture)

THE DIY TUTORIAL

Coat the bracelet with craft glue.

Glue the first lace fabric to the bangle. In my case the lace is about four to five centimeters wider than the bangle.

Now continue with a tulle, which is three times longer than the bracelet. Therefore coat a layer of glue along the middle of the bracelet and first glue only the tulle-ends at the open ends of the bangle and fix them with clothes pins.

Now ball together the rest of the overly long tulle by hand and glue it to the bracelet. By this way you create ruffles to the lace (see picture).

Now glue a small lace border to the tulle lace …

… and then one more. You see, with this last border I decided for a bold color.

Place the button in the middle of the bangle. If there is a eyelet (for sewing) at the bottom of your button, just break it off with the pliers to get a plain surface for glueing. DONE!
