Gina-B Silkworks | How to make a Button Bangle - easy, no harm to buttons (no glue) / DIY Button Bracelet @GinaBSilkworks | Uploaded December 2021 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
This video shows you how to make a bangle using cardboard, fabric and a needle and thread. The bangle can easily be decorated with buttons, by sewing them onto a ribbon or strip of fabric, which is then stitched down to the bangle. It's a nice way to make a bracelet for those who don't like wearing elastic bracelets.
The bangle can be decorated in many other ways of course - try using an inkle or tablet woven band, or even make a big embroidered yubinuki bangle!
I've based the bangle on the same technique used to create yubinuki thimbles, and so have used our Yubinuki template (from our Yubinkui thimble kit) in this demo.
