Rope and Tassel Bangles

Make these colorful bangles in any size with my "secret" ingredient! Use old fabric scraps and embroidery thread from the dollar store!

Polypropylene rope

Candle

Colorful embroidery floss

Metallic gold embroidery floss

Glue gun

1" bias cut fabric strips

Large needle Scissor

Cut the rope to fit around your hand

Melt the ends together over a candle

*You want to do this outside

Hot glue a strip of fabric to the bangle and begin wrapping

Tie or glue embroider floss to the bangle and wrap

*Criss-cross and create a random pattern with the floss

Secure the end of the floss with more hot glue or a knot

Tie 10" of floss in the center of a full skein of embroidery floss

Fold the skein in half and create the neck with metallic floss by wrapping in both direction and then tying a knot

Trim the ends of the tassel

Tie the tassel to the bangle

Using a large needle, thread the loose ends through the center of the tassel and trim
