Step-by-step tutorial

Next I used a piece of masking tape to hold one end of a ribbon to the inside of the bracelet. This held it in place so it would be easy to wrap.
Step 4
Now you can hand off the bangle to the kids to wrap the ribbon around and around until the bracelet is fully covered.
Step 5

My daughter adores her new bangles. She chose everything about them, so she should!
