SUMMER BANGLES DIY

As I was digging for unwanted things to sell in my upcoming yard sale this weekend. I came across several pieces of jewelry that don't get much attention anymore. Inspired to upcycle a few, I decided to give them a colorful makeover. Using a set of three old bangles, ebroidery floss and a pair of necklaces with lots of pretty linked beads & charms I created these super cute summer inspired bangles. 

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

• Set of bangles 
• Embroidery floss in several colors
• Variety of charms and jump rings(or an old necklace you can take apart for its pretty charms like I did  ;] )
• LOCTITE Super Glue with Gel Control or E600 glue 
• pliers
• scissors
• toothpick 

1. Start by applying a small dot of glue on your bangle. Place the tip of the first embroidery floss on the area with the glue and apply pressure using a toothpick until its securely glued to the bangle. Start to wrap the embroidery floss around the bangle. 2. Continue wrapping the floss halfway around the bangle(wrapping gets a little tricky so just wrap a good amount and then gather it tightly with your fingers). 3. Once your halfway around the bangle stop and glue the end of the first color. Beginning at the end of the first color glue the tip of the second color of embroidery floss. Repeat step One. 4. After the second color is wrapped all around the other half of the bangle, glue the end of the embroidery floss where the two colors meet.     

Repeat steps 1 through 4 with the remaining bangles. When you are through wrapping the bangles use a pair of pliers to attach pretty charms.

Have fun with this you guys!!
