Supplies

An iron and ironing board
Directions
Cut
a long strip of fabric that measures double the width of your bangle.
Lay
the fabric down on the ironing board, fold the edges in toward the center, and
iron flat. Your strip should now have a front side that is clean and a back
side with an ironed seam.
Place
the end of the strip inside the bangle, with the front side facing out, apply a
drop of glue and tightly wrap the strip around the bangle, fully covering the
glued end to keep the strip in place.
Continue
tightly wrapping the fabric strip around the bangle until
you cover the entire bracelet. Apply a bit of glue inside the bangle under the
final wrap. Cut the strip just after the glued section, and hold it in place
until the glue dries.
