DIY Tassely Charm Scrap Fabric Bangle: Upcycle Your Old Fabrics

Looking for a stylish way to upcycle your scrap fabric? This tassel charm bangle is a simple and fun project that lets you turn leftover fabric into a trendy accessory. Whether you’re making it for yourself or as a gift, this colorful bangle adds a boho touch to any outfit!

Materials You’ll Need:

  • Fabric scraps
  • A plain bangle or bracelet base
  • Scissors
  • Needle and thread (optional)
  • Jump rings and small charms (optional)

Step-by-Step Guide:

Step 1: Choose Your Fabric Scraps

Gather fabric scraps that complement each other in color and pattern. Cotton or lightweight fabric works best, and the more variety you have, the more colorful your bangle will look!

Step 2: Cut Fabric Strips

Using scissors, cut your fabric into thin strips about 1-1.5 cm wide and 10-15 cm long. You’ll need enough strips to cover the bangle and create tassels.

Step 3: Wrap the Bangle

Take one strip of fabric and tie it tightly around the bangle. Continue wrapping the fabric around the entire bangle, overlapping each strip to cover the base completely. Tie a knot at the end and trim any excess fabric.

Step 4: Make the Tassels

Now, create tassels using the leftover fabric strips. To do this, fold a strip in half and tie the top together with another strip, leaving the ends loose. You can also use needle and thread to make the tassels more secure if needed.

Step 5: Attach the Tassels

Once you’ve made several tassels, tie them around the bangle at intervals to create a decorative, dangly effect. You can add as many tassels as you like depending on how full you want the bangle to look.
