I Made A Sequined Bangle

I got this genius idea from Miss Amy's Blog. (Thanks, Amy!)
I had a multicolor sequin purse from Old Navy that was really cute but I never used anymore, so when I saw how Amy turned some old sequin shirts into bracelets, I knew it was over for the purse. I also knew it was over for a yellow bangle that I hadn't worn in a long time.

Well, not exactly over. The purse and bangle have merged and become reincarnated as my new sequin bracelet! (Excuse the rub marks from getting it over my knuckles. It wasn't as violent as it looks! lol...)

But to be perfectly honest, I decided to forgo the super glue and ended up wrapping the fabric around the edges and duct taping it down. :)

Don't have what you need to make a sequin bangle? Find one on eBay!

    I love it – and I love it even more because you used duct tape. Duct tape makes the world go round..

    This is the kind of recycling I like to see! Also, I’d be impatient with superglue and end up using something else too. I really like it though, shame I really like my sequin dresses, they wont be getting the chop any time soon!

    Great idea!

    I have a couple of new tops that have sequins on them. What would you suggest I use if I start to see some of the sequins falling off? :(

    That’s very good, Annie.

    I might have to recycle one of my bags too!
