In this guide, you’ll learn how to make silk thread bangles at home with simple materials and creative designs.

Why Choose Handmade Silk Thread Bangles?

• Materials Needed:

Step-by-Step Process

Step 1: Prepare the Bangle Base

• Choose a sturdy bangle (plastic or metal).
• If using multiple bangles together, stick them using strong glue and let them dry.
• Apply a thin layer of Fevicol or fabric glue in small sections for easy handling.

Step 2: Wrapping the Silk Thread

• Tie one end of the silk thread inside the bangle to secure it.
• Begin wrapping the silk thread tightly and evenly around the bangle.
• Use toothpicks to spread the glue as you wrap, ensuring a smooth finish.

Step 3: Securing the Ends

• Once fully wrapped, apply glue to the last part of the thread.
• Press it gently and hold for a few seconds to let it dry.

Step 4: Adding Decorations

• Use small beads, pearls, or decorative stones to embellish the bangle.
• Arrange them in patterns or as a single line for a designer look.
• Use a toothpick to apply glue and carefully place each stone.

Step 5: Let It Dry & Wear

• Allow the bangles to dry completely for a few hours before using them.
• Pair them with matching outfits for a stylish ethnic look.
