9 Adorable DIY Fabric Bracelets to Make with Fabric Scraps

1. Yo-yo

Yo-yos are small flower-like things made from circular fabric cuts, and they can be used in making charming DIY fabric bracelets. They are so easy and fun to make. After you construct the yo-yos, you simply attach them to a thin bangle, glue a strip of felt to the underside for comfort, let dry, and you're done.

2. Fabric Rope

The raw edges add wonderful visual appeal to this lovely fabric bracelet. Making this is a bit like forming a weave, with the strips of fabric used as the main material. Finish off with a fancy button or bead for closure. If you enjoy textured accessories like this, you might also like the braided fabric bracelet technique.

Essential DIY Bracelet Materials to Have on Hand:

3. Braided

This is one of the more popular ways to make bracelets out of fabric. What you do is use three strips of fabric with one end secured with a ribbon crimp. You then braid these strips and secure the other end with another ribbon crimp. Attach a lobster clasp and that's it. Woven cloth bracelets like this make wonderful gifts for friends.

4. Bejeweled

This lovely DIY accessory is Anthro-inspired. The original piece costs more than a hundred bucks. The amount is certainly insane, especially if you are the crafty kind. Because why buy when you can DIY, right? With this particular material bracelet, you will simply construct the band out of fabric and then add beads and stones. You can do this in so many colors! See an amazing example tutorial at Flamingo Toes.

5. Simple Bangle Wrap

This is another easy accessory that you can DIY using fabric scraps. Basically, what you do is cut a strip of fabric and wrap it around a bangle. This bangle can be the round kind or something with flat sides; any type will do. To secure the fabric strips, use glue. If you like structured wrapped pieces, compare it with the yo-yo bangle style.

6. Rose Cuff

How pretty! Not only will this be great as an everyday bracelet, I think this will also be a lovely accessory for bridesmaids. To make this, you will first have to assemble the base. It can be made of felt or a white strip of fabric. You then attach fabric flowers, embellishing the center with faux pearls as you go along. You can get these fabric flowers from craft suppliers or dollar stores.

7. Printed Bow

This is a DIY fabric bracelet tutorial that I cooked up myself. These bow bracelets are cute and ever-so-fun to make, if I do say so myself. Using strips of fabric scraps, you construct the bow and band and then attach them to silver chains. Adorn with a cute charm or bead for added visual interest.

8. Cabochon Velvet

Oh, hey, another Anthropologie knockoff! And so pretty, too! This is so easy to make, I bet you'll end up DIYing a batch to give to your friends. This is also a perfect way to craft with that bowl of loose cabochons gathering dust on your dresser. Explore more craft ideas at DIY & Crafts.
