Step 1Gather your materials. Cut four strips of paper bag about 8" long and 2-4" wide. To determine the length of the strips, make a fist and measure around it, and add an inch.
-
Step 2Glue ends together on one strip print side out.
-
Step 3Add a second strip covering the print of the first. Repeat with remaining strips.
-
Step 4Scrunch edges together creating wrinkles in the bangle. Let dry and trim or sand any uneven edges.
-
Step 5Paint your bangles in colors of your choice. Add an acrylic sealer for longer wear. Glue on embellishments such as beads, sequins or other lightweight decorations if you like.
