Guest Post: Delighted Momma's Crafty DIY

Hello readers of Eat Love & Style! I am Lindsay from Delighted Momma!
I LOVE Jackie's blog and and so excited to be here! Today I am going to show you how to take old bangles and spruce them up.
I have TONS of cheapy silver bangles that I have acquired. I mean really... how many silver bracelets can one girl own?...A LOT according to my jewelry drawer. So I decided to spruce some of them up!

What you need:
  • Scissors
  • Hemp cords (as many colors as you like)
  • An old bangle
Pick a color you want to start with. Tie a TIGHT double knot around the bracelet. Start wrapping the hemp cord around the bracelet. Tuck the strand from the knot (second picture) on the inside as you wrap.

When you are ready to add your next color, tie a tight double knot next to were you left off with the previous color. Wrap like you did with the first color. Keep the other hemp string tucked behind.

Alternate the colors as much or little as you like....tucking the
previous color as you go

When you reach the end, double knot the cord and cut the loose end.

Since you cant have just ONE bangle..I made two :)

Hope you all enjoyed the little tutorial. Thanks again Jackie for having me!

    Lindsay this was awesome! I have old H&M bangles that are kind of pointy and hurt to wear - I think this would be the perfect, most stylish remedy! :)
