The Simplest Guide on How to Prepare Thread Bangles

Step 1

The first step of our how to prepare thread bangles guide is to collect all the necessary raw materials. What all do you think you need? Go to the nearby market/stationary store and buy plastic/glass bangles, colourful threads, a pair of scissors, some glue, stone lace, pearls, beads, Ghunghroo, and other embellishments that you wish to decorate the thread bangles with. 

Step 2

The next step requires you to glue the bangles properly so that the thread sticks to it. After which all you need to do is wind the thread around the bangles in a circular motion until the entire plastic bangle is covered. Use two or more contrasting or matching colours of thread and intertwine them if you want your bangles to be multicoloured. But remember that for your multi-coloured thread bangles to look well intertwined you must gently keep pulling the threads to make sure that there are no gaps in between and that they are tight.

This way the coloured patterns on the bangle will show beautifully. Our guide on how to prepare thread bangles has deliberately been kept simple, considering our brides have a wedding to plan for and need something that is simple and yet very personalised for her bridesmaids.
