Beaded bangle (with tutorial)

[Danwei]

I made some beaded bangles the other day and thought I might as well try making a tutorial for once.


This is what you'll need:
~ A plain bangle
~ Wire
~ Bunch of beads
~ Wire cutter


Step 1: Start off by cutting a piece of wire in a manageble length.


Step 2: Put one bead through the end of the wire and make a loop in order to secure it.


Step 3: Wrap the wire around the bangle.


Step 4: Slip on another bead onto the wire.


Step 5: Wrap around the bangle and make sure the beads are fasten tightly. Repeat from step 4 until the wire ends. Secure the end by hiding it inside an already attached bead.


Step 6: Repeat from step 1 until the whole bangle is covered with beads. Done!

Let me know if anything is unclear. Since it's my first tutorial I'd be happy to receive constructive critisism. And please post pictures of your bangles if you do try this out!

Thanks for looking!

Thanks for posting this! You seriously just inspired me to salvage two junky bangles out of the trash that I was going to toss.
