  Step 1

  What you need:
  -Some cheap bangles
  - Embroidery Floss in your choice of colors.
  - Threading needle
  - Scissors, the sharper, the better.

• 

  Step 2

  Take one bangle and one embroidery floss and tie a knot on the bangle.

• 

  Step 3

  With the skein of floss in your hand, loosely wrap the floss around the bracelet, about 5-6 wraps at a time.

• 

  Step 4

  Tighten what you have just wrapped together and up towards the knot.

• 

  Step 5

  Keep wrapping and tightening until it starts to look like this.

• 

  Step 6

  Do this all the way around until there is no inner bangle showing anymore. At this point create another knot at the end and cut.

• 

  Step 7

  Now get as close as you can with the scissor to the end of the loose ends and cut.

• 

  Step 8

  Cut off another piece of floss about 5-6 inches and thread it through a needle. Tie a knot at the end of the thread.

• 

  Step 9

  Put the needle through right by where the knots were cut previously,

• 

  Step 10

  Slowly wrap around all loose strings and imperfections as tightly as you can.

• 

  Step 11

  When finished wrapping around the loose ends, put the needle a few times through the bottom side of the bangle so as not to unravel and cut as close as possible so no strings stick out.

  Now you are done!! =)

A little suggestion - before cutting the knots, put a thin coat of clear nail polish over them and allow it to dry before cutting the threads - it'll ensure that they won't untie/unravel.

Cute! I made one with beads, and it turned out pretty good! Very time consuming for me though (I'm slow) but overall very cool!
