I love big bracelets. I had seen some amazing fabrics at Harts Fabrics and thought this would be a perfect opportunity to use some of them to make a fabulous, high fashion, over-sized bangle.

First, grab 5 strips of chiffon. Cut them 1.5in by 3 inch. I used these three cream then two in a taupe color.Squeeze them in the middle….

.. then stitch them. Here’s what you’ll have.

I got this bangle in the dollar bin at Target.

Now’s your chance to use some beautiful statement fabrics. I used this gold and white Chanel one.

Here are a couple more that I absolutely love.
this Vera Wang Silkor this other Chanel.
Cut the fabric the length of your bangle and wide enough to cover it all the way around. Hot glue it on one side. Make sure to pull tightly so it doesn’t pucker at all.

Then do the other side. I think its LOVELY just like this. Think how many you could make with beautiful fabrics!

For an extra step, I covered the inside with this gold hem tape to cover the fabric that was folded over.

Now get your chiffon pieces and layer them on and stick with hot glue.

Here’s how the top will look when you’ve finished. You can always trim the flower if you need to make it smaller.

I love how big and bold it is.

Now go make some one of a kind, couture statement bracelets!!(That cost a buck!) How great are these for gifts!! I’m going to be making LOTS of these for Christmas!
