Another quick and inexpensive DIY gift! I made a few of these for the bridal shower I was in charge of providing gifts or door prizes for the other month. I found these gold bangle bracelets at Heartbreaker 5 for $2! Then I basically used embroidery thread and the only "friendship bracelet" technique I can still remember from 6th grade! You probably know the one I am talking about, the "make a 4 and pull it through"? :) Ha!
Materials:
-simple bangle bracelets
-colorful embroidery thread
-glue (optional- you can add a dot to the start and end to ensure the thread/knot stays put)
How To:
1. Cut a loooong piece of thread & tie one end to the bracelet with a knot.
2. Determine how you want to wrap the thread around the bracelet. The video below is the technique I used, (at the beginning of the video).

3. If you want to switch colors, all I did was to tie a knot with color #1, snip the end and then start color #2 making sure to go over the "tail" of color #1 so it gets hidden.
4. When you are finished, tie a knot & you can add a little glue to make sure it is secure!
