I have followed the blog, Natural Belle, for a couple of years, and although Gina (Editor-in-Chief) talked mainly about natural black hair care in the beginning of the blog, she has ventured into health, beauty, and fashion on her blog. A few weeks ago, I was reading the blog, and I came across a great blog post for DIY bracelets! As you all know, I am a sucker for a good African wax fabric, so after reading this post, I decided to try my hand at making my own African Wax Print bangles.
 |
| I got the fabric from my local fabric store, G Street Fabrics. They are a little pricey, but they always have exactly what I am looking for. |
 |
| I have had these bangles for years, and I NEVER wear them. In an effort to use what I already have, this DIY came right on time! |
 |
| The fabric was cut into 3 inch strips. |
 |
| Glue one end of the “hemmed” fabric to the inside of the bangle. Begin wrapping the fabric around the bangle, pulling the fabric as taut as possible while wrapping. |
 |
| When I ran out of fabric for this bangle, I just glued it down and started with new fabric, of course doing all of this on the inside of the bangle. I have had this glue gun for years. Check your local sewing store, or Walmart for a Glue Gun |

| The finished product! For detailed instructions, please visit The Natural Belle, and have a great time upcycling those bracelets you have no idea what to do with |
