- How To Make Jewelry: How To Make Boho Chic Bangle Bracelets
These Boho Chic Bangle Bracelets look like they came from a boutique, but they are so easy to make! We wrapped inexpensive bracelets with ribbon, then added crystals and charms.
To get started making your own Boho Chic Bangle Bracelets, you will need a stack of cheap metal bangles. (About 30.) We got ours at Claire’s! You will also need 1/4” to 3/8” wide ribbon. We used magenta, burgundy, gold, purple, cobalt blue, turquoise, teal, green, yellow, orange, and red. We made a rainbow with ours, but you could make them in ombre using white, light blue, and blue or white, pink, and red. The wire you will need is 26-gauge brass wire. You will also need 48 bicone crystals in size 4mm. We matched the colors of the bicones to the colors of the bracelets and used about 6 crystals per bangle. If you want, get some gold charms too, to add to some of the bracelets. We used about 25 charms. The tools you will need for this diy jewelry project are chain-nose pliers and wire cutters. We also used Fabri-Tac glue.
Here are the steps:
1. To make the ribbon wrapped bangles, cut a 30″ length of ribbon. Glue one end of the ribbon to a bracelet. Wrap the ribbon tightly around the bracelet overlapping the previous wrap slightly. When the whole bracelet is wrapped, glue the end down.
2. To add a charm, cut a 30″ length of wire. Leaving a 1″ tail, wrap the wire around the ribbon-wrapped bracelet about 30 times all the way around, twist the ends of the wire together two times, slide a charm onto the wire, twist that end back, and wrap around the other wire. Trim the wire. Press the ends down with pliers.
3. To add bicones, cut a 30″ length of wire. Leaving a 1″ tail, wrap the wire around the ribbon-wrapped bracelet about 5 times, slide on a bicone that matches the ribbon, wrap the wire 5 more times, add another bicone, and repeat until the bracelet has 6 bicones and is wrapped with wire. Twist the ends of the wire together two times, slide a charm onto the wire, twist that end back, and wrap around the other wire. Trim the wire. Press the ends down with pliers.

Thank you for the tutorial. You're a very soothing teacher. I'm the sort of person who has to be told ten times that it doesn't have to be perfect.
Thanks so much Kimberly! And remember...it doesn't have to be perfect! :)

Same here! I have OCD so it really inhibits me doing activities such as this because combined with anxiety disorder, I lack the patience to be able to persist with such tasks if they don't work out perfectly. I would definitely buy these though as I highly doubt my own ability to create these absolute beauties.
Great tutorial!
Thanks so much!
Cheers,
Jennifer & Kitty
Love how bright and colourful those are! Gorgeous.
I love this! I've got about 250 metal bracelets and I've been brainstorming what to do with them - your video has helped tremendously! Thank you!
Sounds like you're going to be busy! It'll be fun to make them in all different colors!

@@TheONeilSisters your welcome
:)
You can also use embroidery floss instead of ribbon - the color choices are endless and it looks great!
Great idea Robyn! It'd be fun to do a mix of colors on one bangle. J & K
This is beautiful - reminds me of some Indian bangles I have.
Yes they have a little Indian flair, don't they?! And very wearable!
So beautiful

Thoes are so pretty! I'm gonna try and make maybe two or three of them, but i dont think i'm gonna use the wire.
Thanks Amy! They will look very elegant without the wire. Great idea!
Very helpful 😀
+nails4sanam Thanks for watching!
very pretty bracelets nice way to make inexpensive Bangles look very pretty but I'm not sure the 26 gauge wire would be strong enough with just one Loop to hold the charm with all the banging around the Bangles make?
+Coleen Taylor Thanks Colleen! You can always make an extra loop to secure the charms if they feel a little heavy for 26-gauge!
