well, i was looking through an urban outfitters mag, and saw these fabric bracelets...wow..about 15$. v.v so,...heres what I did.

Then I started wrapping it around the bracelet.

Nice idea,
I would be a little subconscious about the stitches coming undone.

Cute! Gotta make me some! You can probably look at GoodWill for bangles.

Yess! I totally saw these at UO and they drove me crazy. Sometimes their outrageous prices make me feel like punching someone. (Not that I would, of course...)

Another good idea is to wrap a bangle with ribbon, and to use hot glue to hold each end in place.
