How to make a bow bracelet
I used half of an old t-shirt sleeve for my fabric, but you can use whatever!

STEPS
TOOLS
First start with your chunk of fabric
Then (if needed) trim so it's a straight line
Wrap it around your wrist, to make sure it fits correctly (the fit should be loose, so you can slip it on and off)
Place the fabric face up
And fold it in half so the ugly side is now facing up (it will be flipped inside out later)
Sew across the edge, leaving enough space for it to be turned right side out
I sewed across the edge of the old seam
Once flipped, you should have a small tube
If you are having trouble making the tube
Take a knitting needle or pencil and shove it through the tube, until it goes all the way through
You might have to take it out and move it around to get it through, just make sure not to take the seam out
Now make the center of the bow
Start by flipping it over, so the seam is face up in the middle
Put your index finger in the seam and push up to make a little mountain
Pinch the mountain and remove your index finger
Now holding the center with your index finger and thumb
Use your other hand to fold the sides up along your fingers, and pinch it together
Now turn on the hot glue gun to warm up
While it's warming, make the small strip that will go over the inside, to hide the glue marks. I used the scrap from making my edge straight
I cut along the top to make mine
Put glue in the folds of the bow
Now stretch your strip to make it curl a bit, and look nicer
You're going to place it over the fronts middle, and glue it twice in the back. Once on the bow
And once to fold over the excess
It should look like this after being glued
Now bring the ends together and stitch them up, make sure to leave room to slip it on and off your wrist
And you're finished! I like to pinch the sewed ends when I put it on, just to make sure they don't pop. Comment any questions and concerns and I'll try to answer
- Needle and thread
- Hot glue gun
