Someone had asked for a tutorial so here it is.
(i dont have step by step pictures)
its so simple kinda takes awhile with all the thread.
1. get your bangle and all the thread(s). it doesnt really matter what kind of thread you use, i used embroider thread because i had wayyyy to much of it. and i thought it worked really well. im sure some sort of yarn would work just as well.
2. how you start the thread onto your bangle is by tapping the end of your thread down on the inside of the bangle and from there you wrap around and around and around the whole bangle until you reach your desired width of the section or sections your doing.
- now if your using multiple colors.... when your done with your last color you leave a little tail left on the inside and tape it down on the inside of the bangle. and you tape down the new thread over the last tail and start wrapping around and around again.
once your all done and your last tail is over lapping your first color that you started with. you use a hot glue gun to glue down the last thread.
(on top of what ever remaining thread)
it wont matter if the inside gets a little messy looking because if your wearing it noone will see it.
i hope that explains it well enough for anyone who wanted to know =]
end result
