What you will need to make Tassel & Charm Scrap Fabric Bangle
Plastic Cool Drink Bottle
Scissors
Scraps of fabric
Ribbon
Charms & links
Step 1
We begin the tassel & charm scrap fabric bangle by cutting the plastic bottle. Plastic bottles cut easily with a paper scissors, but it’s easier to make an opening hole with either an awl or a nail ,than slip you scissors in the hole & snip away (children will need an adults help for this step).
The tassel & charm scrap fabric bangle is created with the flat plain part of a 750ml Pepsi bottle. We cut this piece out.
Step 3
Once we have this piece for our tassel & charm scrap fabric bangle, we wind masking tape around it.
Step 4
The masking tape is a guide to neatly cut out our round plastic bottle bangle for our tassel & charm scrap fabric bangle
Step 5
Begin to thread charms onto your ribbon for your tassel & charm scrap fabric bangle. You could instead of ribbon use scrap fabric cut into a long and thin strip. Add links to your charms, than thread the ribbon through your links for extra dangliness and making them easier to thread.
Step 6
Wrap the ribbon round your plastic bottle bangle, making sure that charms dangle at the edges. Tuck the ribbon in, You could stop here if you like this look.
Step 7
Now cut out strips of scrap fabric for your tassel & charm scrap fabric bangle, mine were about 16cm long and 2cm width.
Step 8
Hold a piece of your scrap fabric folded in a loop behind the bangle.
Step 9
Than pic up the ends of the scrap & thread into the loop, pull tight, creating a tassel and tying onto the plastic bottle bangle
Step 10
Add a few tassels between charms to create the lovely tassel & charm scrap fabric bangle.
Step 11
Cut into the tassels to create more fringe effect.
Step 12
Trim tassels to even out and finish off.
You could also leave out charms and simply wrap fabric between tassels.
You can also create a raggedy fashion bangle with just tassels.
