COILED MAGAZINE BANGLE


I made this bangle out of magazine pages. I think this could be a great summer accessory; but I haven't tried to submerged it in water though. =D

MATERIALS:
magazine pages
super glue or glue stick
cardboard
poster paint
varnish

PROCEDURE:
1. Cut strips of magazine pages about 1.5 to 1 inches in width.





2. Get a strip and roll it from the tip.






3. Coil the rolled strip from the tip. Then glue.





4. Cut a cardboard strip and roll it according to the circumference of your arm. This will serve as your guide when you glue the coiled strips together.




5. Put a rolled scotch tape on the cardboard bangle to hold the first coiled strip. Then glue the coiled strips together according to your desired pattern or design. Avoid putting glue on the cardboard.








6. Remove the cardboard and leave the bangle to dry. Afterwards, you can also paint the dried glue with your chosen color so that it will look neat. I painted mine with green poster paint. Lastly, coat with varnish for added luster and to make it stiff.





That's it! Have a beautiful summer! (*-*)
