Once your bracelets are dry, you may notice that they are rough and somewhat sharp in a few areas. This can easily be fixed by using fine sand paper to smooth out the surface.

  1. Nice idea, these look great! Does it have to be cotton fabric or can it be any kind of fabric? A nice way to personalise an outfit, thanks for sharing this!

    1. I only tried cotton and had great luck with it though I think a rayon blend would work well too. If you want to try another fabric, I’d recommend gluing a small piece to the inside of the bracelet with the Mod Podge and see how it dries first.

  2. Cute, spunky, fun and EASY to make! Thanks for taking the time to do this tutorial! I’m a new fan AND I’ll try this for my next ‘crafting’ with my female family members – we have LOADS of DIY’ers!

    1. You’re welcome! If you get together and make these with your family, I’d love to see a photo! Please tag it with #sarahhearts if you post one :)

  3. This is realty a great project to make for birthday gifts or everyday gifts for that special someone. I have lots of fabric left over and this would be a great project….even for a classroom for Mothers Day. Thanks for sharing :)

    1. When you paint the Mod Podge all over the bracelet it dries hard and creates a seal around the entire bracelet, including the fabric edges, and prevents it from fraying.

  4. Very fashionable and easy to make. I am sure the fabric exchange has so many choices of fabric for this kind of project.

  5. Love the idea of using up fabric scraps, but where do you buy the wood bangle bracelets. I saw your pattern in a quilting magazine and I am a quilter so loved the idea of using fabric to make this bangle. Looking forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Claudette
