Mod Podge Hearts Crazy Love

Ready for some Mod Podge love? This bangle has been waiting for an upgrade for a long time. I got it for a ridiculously low price--just a couple of bucks, if memory serves. The selvedges of Jennifer Paganelli's Crazy Love seemed like the perfect fit for this project.
Here's what you need:

  • Matte Mod Podge (my favorite, but you can use whichever Mod Podge you like),
  • An applicator (fingers work just fine too),
  • A chunky bangle, and
  • Fabric scraps or selvedges approximately 3/4" thick.

To make, simply apply some Mod Podge to the inside and outside of one section of the bangle. Start wrapping the fabric around the bangle. Keep the beginning end on the inside. Continue applying Mod Podge and wrapping the fabric until you get to the end. The tail end should be on the inside.  Let dry.
Apply a couple of coats to the entire bangle.  Let dry between coats. If desired, use Mod Podge Hard Coat for the final coat.
And that's it! Plenty of time to make some for Easter baskets or Mother's Day. If you don't have any bangles to upgrade, check online.  Create for Less carries some wood bracelets here.  Amazon.com has a few sellers as well.

If you do make one, or many, send some pictures.  I'd love to see them.
