DIY: wrapped yarn bangles.


It's wintertime and if you're anywhere Northish, pretty much everything wants to be wrapped up in something cozy right now, including my jewelry. This is an easy DIY that makes a great gift, style update for your own wardrobe, or could be a great use for those small yarn remains.


Wrapped Yarn Bangles

 Helpful skills:
  • knotting

Materials needed:
  • metal bangle bracelets
  • yarn or ribbon
  • scissors




Step-by-step:

1. Cut approximately 2 feet of yarn or use scraps you have on hand.

2. Tie a double knot around the bangle and begin wrapping tightly.

3. If you'd like to add variety to your bracelet, tie off the yarn in a few places and double knot. You could also change the color!

4. When you come full circle on your bangle, double-check your yarn to make sure it covers your bracelet completely, pushing the yarn together and wrapping more if necessary.

5. When you're finished wrapping, cut all the fray to look even.
