Instructions
Step 1:
Get the colored strip and fold it in half lengthwise. Press it flat using an iron.
Step 2:
Sew it on the edge with a 0.2-inch seam allowance.
Step 3:
Cut the ends diagonally to make them pointed.
Step 4:
Insert a thick thread on a needle, then make a knot on the end. Insert the needle on one tip, then insert the needle into the tube. Keep on moving the needle inside the tube until it passes through the other end. Pull the thread until the other end of the fabric goes in.
Step 5:
Get 3 long strands of yarn and fold them in half. Get a needle with thread and tie it n the middle of the yarn strands. Insert the needle into the tube until it passes through the other end.
Step 6:
Fold one end of the fabric into the bangle and sew it to secure it in place. Once done sewing, get the other bangle, loop it on the end, then insert it in the middle. Next, wrap it on the first bangle, then insert it in the middle again. Repeat the process until you fully covered it with fabric. Make sure you do it as tightly as possible.
Step 7:
Once you reach the end, cut the excess leaving about half an inch of allowance. Pull out the yarn from the inside and cut it. Fold the end and sew it to secure it in place.
