Silk Thread Bangles
These bangles look gorgeous. You can choose to design bangles of the same colour, multicolour, or colour coordinate with your special attires.
Material involved: Silk thread (thread colours of your choice), plain bangles, fabric glue, pearls, stones, beads, fabric lace, and a pair of scissors.
Procedure:
-
First of all, take a few strands of silk thread together and glue them at the end to get a hold and clean finishing.
-
Now put on some glue at the initial point on the inner side of the bangle. Start wrapping the bangle and keep the threads tight and properly aligned.
-
After you finish wrapping the bangle with silk thread, apply the glue and put pressure on it.
-
Let the glue dry and then paste the pearls, stones, or the lace, whatever you like. You can choose embellishments depending on what you love to wear.
-
This way you can create simple or heavily embellished bangles as per your personal choice.
Silk Thread Necklace
Now let’s try a silk thread necklace, a common jewellery piece to enhance your look. You can design a simple necklace to wear with your casual outfits or you can also add little charms to your silk thread necklace to give it a little more desi glam look.
Material involved: Silk thread (the colour of your choice), fabric glue, loops, adjustable dori, a pair of scissors, pearls, stone chains, embellishments, kundan stones.
Procedure:
-
Measure your neck, how you want the fit of your necklace.
-
Cut 40 to 50 strands of silk thread as per the measurement and glue them together at the end. Repeat the same process 2 more times.
-
Now you have 3 gatherings of silk thread. Glue the strands together at their ends.

Then start creating a bread with these 3 gatherings. Use glue if required and make sure the bread is tight and should not fall away from each other.
