Happy Friday! I am so glad it is the weekend! Today I have a simple makeover that I used to transform two bangles that I am not particularly in love with and are not really my style into something I have worn almost every day this week. As with most things I make, this was so simple and quick [I’m easily distracted by other projects/ideas otherwise] and you may have something that could be transformed in the same way in your jewellery box?
What I Used:
Ribbon
Gold Link Bangles
These are the bangles in question:
I decided to soften the look of the bangle with ribbon in a pale cream and light grey, as I thought they would go with most things I will wear:
I began by cutting a length of thread a little longer than the circumference of the bangle, tying a knot in one end [to make sure it doesn’t unthread] and threading through from the inside of the bangle:
I repeated the threading on the other bangle with my white thread:
but finished by threading from the outside and tying a bow at the end:

So simple, but bracelets that I have worn all week and now really like! Have a fantastic weekend – I’m hoping I can try out a few more jewellery ideas – see you next week!
- You could fix all your ribbons in place with a bow, rather than glue, making them removable depending on what you are wearing – different colour/patterned ribbons would be great to swap with.
- Friendship bracelets, beaded threads or plaited fabric would be a brilliant contrast to the ribbon.
