  Step 1

  Take a zipper which size is bigger than the bangle when wrapped around.

  Wrap it around.

  Cut where it meets the beginning of the zipper.

• 

  Step 2

  Measure the length of the zipper.

• 

  Step 3

  Take a piece of scrap fabric. It's very important your fabric is synthetic!

  My bangle had a length of 26.5cm I cut a piece of fabric measuring 27.5 cm (you are going to snip the excess at the end). For the width I took 2.5cm with a 0,8cm seam allowance.

  It's okay if the width of the fabric is smaller than that of the bangle this way it gets a finished look.

• 

  Step 4

  Unzip the zipper so that you have two pieces of zipper.

  Take your fabric and one piece of the zipper and put right sides together.

• 

  Step 5

  :) SEW!

• 

  Step 6

  Sew the other side of the zipper (right sides together) making sure it's on the same length as the zipper piece you have already sewn.

• 

  Step 7

  Iron it and snip the excess fabric right up to where you've sewn DON'T SNIP THE THREAD!

• 

  Step 8

  Take your bangle and fabric and zip it on! You might have to pull a little because it might be tight.

  Where beginning and end meet cut to size if necessary and smooth down the edges with a lighter this way the fabric won't unravel. `

  You can zip it closed or halfclosed it's up to you!

  Personally I like to leave it open because I want to show the colour of the bangle I'm wearing underneath.
