Materials:
- fabric (of your choice)
- needle and thread
- 3 pcs. of thin metal wristbands
- iron
- yarn
- scissors
Directions:
Step 1
Cut the fabric with a measurement of 2.5 cm x 2 m (you can join two fabrics together to make it 2 m in length.) Fold it in half, then iron it. Sew the fabric with a 5 mm seam allowance in the sewing machine. Cut one of the ends diagonally then grab a needle and thread and put it inside the fabric hole. Carry the needle and thread across the fabric hole, then flip the fabric inside out. Grab a 6-strand yarn and attach it to the thread’s end. Carry again the needle and thread across the fabric hole. (The yarn will fill up the fabric slowly as you thread.) Cut the excess yarn on each end. Grab three thin metal wristbands, and sew one of the fabric string ends into the first wristband. Grab the other two wristbands and start carrying the fabric string in an over-under-over-under motion, until you fully wrapped the wristbands with the fabric.

Step 2
After you finish wrapping the metal wristbands, cut the tip of the fabric, exposing the yarn. Remove the exposed yarn by cutting it, just leaving the fabric. Cut the fabric but leave a small portion behind. Fold this small portion then sew it onto the fabric on the bracelet.
