tissue paper bangles, part 3

5/11/2016

 
(Check out Part 1 and Part 2, if you missed 'em.)
This time we've got pom-pom bobbles! Yes. You need to be a certain type of person to wear this bangle: Confident, playful, and ready to shimmy their wrist in the air at any moment that needs a festive flourish. Directions for making one are below.

Like part two's bangle, cut two strips of tissue paper that are about four by 14 inches. Cut a length of ball fringe (the proper name for what I've been calling pom-pom trim) that's about a foot long. Tip: Etsy sellers will allow you to buy lengths smaller than the standard roll of 12 yards.
Roll, fold, and twist the two lengths of paper into ropes.

Gather the ends of the three strands together and clip them with a bulldog or binder clip. 
Now carefully braid the three strands together, pulling the pom-poms out of the braid as you go.

Once your braid is the correct length (long enough to slip over your hand and onto your wrist), trim the end, leaving about a half- or three-quarter inch of excess. Trim the pom-poms from this excess section, and from the other end of the braid, as well.

​Overlap the pom-pom-less ends, and wrap them together with fabric or washi tape. Done!

Tomorrow I've got one more bracelet for you, and this one doesn't involve tissue paper (though it is paper-based). It might be the coolest one yet! Stay tuned...
