2. Add Pretty Pennant Flags
How cute is this DIY wooden bangle? This particular project calls for the use of Mod Podge as well. But instead of fabric strips, you will be adding paper pennant flags onto the surface of the wooden bangle. Before you do that, though, you will want to paint the bangle first. Use a color that will complement the prints or hues of your paper flags.

3. Glue Vintage Accessories
Got old pieces of jewelry that have seen better days? Disassemble some of them and then use your favorite parts to give wooden bangles a sparkly makeover. You will need only industrial glue for this project. E600 should work perfectly.
4. Knit over Them
Doesn't this DIY wooden bangle look cozy? For those who feel that a wooden accessory is too hard on the wrist bone, adding a cozy knitted cover is just the ticket. Putting a cute heart bead is optional but it's a detail that we feel should not be skipped.
5. Wrap with Ribbon
This is one lush bangle. It is the perfect combination of sexy and stunning. The great thing about this fun jewelry DIY is that you can go about it in so many ways and the end results will range from cute to ultra hot. You can choose plain ribbon in dark colors or go for printed material. The possibilities are endless.

6. Stencil a Pattern
This wooden bangle, as you can see has a flat surface. This makes working with a stencil easier. But if your stencil is pliant enough or you cut a pattern especially for your wooden bangle, I think a dome and round bangle type will work as well. After you let your stenciled design dry, add a coat of Mod Podge to protect your new piece of jewelry.

8. Cover with Yarn
This is similar to the ribbon wooden bangle DIY but it will not call for a bow finish. Basically, you wrap yarn or rattail cord around a wooden bangle until the whole thing is covered. To finish, you snip the yarn or cord along the inner section and secure with glue.
