STEPS // 01 BLEACH YOUR FABRIC Cut a piece of fabric about 8″ wide and about 50″ long. Using a cotton swab, dip it into the bleach to coat. Then dab the wet cotton swab onto your fabric and lift.

02 // CUT FABRIC With the scissors, cut strips of fabric about 1″ wide and 8″ long. You will need about 35 if using a large bangle like the one shown, or less strips if using a thinner bracelet.

03 // TIE STRIPS Taking one strip at a time, tie it in a double knot over the bracelet. The double knot will ensure that it will not come loose as you wear the bracelet.

04 // SCRUNCH As you tie the strips of fabric onto the bracelet, scrunch them together tightly so that bracelet becomes full as you go.
