How to Make Fantastic Rainbow Silk Thread Bangles
Forget buying expensive jewelry! Wrapping bangles with silk thread is my go-to method for creating a customizable, vibrant accessory collection. I once made a set to match every one of my kurtas, and they always get compliments. The best part? It’s a virtually foolproof craft.
You’ll need: Plain metal or wooden bangles, silk embroidery thread (the more colors, the better!), and strong craft glue.
Let’s get wrapping:
Anchor the Thread: Put a small dot of glue on the inside of the bangle and press the end of your first thread color onto it. Let it dry for a second.
Wrap Tightly & Neatly: Now, slowly and tightly wrap the thread around the bangle, ensuring each wrap sits snugly next to the previous one. Cover the entire surface.
Change Colors: When you want to switch colors, dot a tiny bit of glue on the inside to secure the end of the first thread. Start your new color right next to it, gluing the end down first, and continue wrapping. The key is consistent tension.
Finish Securely: Once fully covered, glue the final thread end down on the inside. For a pro finish, you can add a final clear coat of mod podge to seal everything.
Pro Tip: Create ombre effects by using multiple shades of the same color, or go bold with a contrasting rainbow pattern. They make fantastic, personal gifts!
