You may be able to find some embroidery floss and bangle bracelets at the dollar store too!
Step 1: First, add a dot of glue to your bracelet.
Step 2: Next, attach one end of you embroidery floss to the dot of glue.
Step 3: Start to wrap each bracelet with your embroidery floss.
You can also alternate colors to make a striped effect that would look super cute!
Step 4: Now, wrap your thread tightly around your bracelet until you are almost all the way around the bracelet.
When you get to the end add another dot of glue.
Then tightly wrap the embroidery floss until you cover the entire bracelet.

There really are so many charm choices. I love these affirmation charms.
You may not know this…
But, I’m a Jewelry Designer!!! I semi-retired about 8 years ago. You can read my story here.
My jewelry was a regular on “Friends” and “90210” back in the day, LOL!
Who’s a fan of “Friends?”
Ok, back to our Bracelet DIY tutorial…
Step 5: Adding Charms to Your Bracelet DIY
Now you can add a cute charm or two….or three! It’s your design so be as creative as you want!!!
Open your large jump ring.
Make sure to open your jump ring side to side, as shown in the photo above.
First, take your large jump ring and open it side to side. Using two pliers make this process much easier.
Now, choose your favorite charm and attach it with a jump ring.
I used large jump rings for this project so the charms would slide around the bracelet.
After adding a charm to your jump ring you can attach it to one of your DIY bracelets.
Be sure to close your jump ring side to side.
The video, below, shows you the jump ring technique if you need a little extra help, visually.
