Shabby Chic DIY Teacher Bracelet

 Teach: verb; to cause or help (someone) to learn about a subject by giving lessons.

Teaching is one of the most important professions there is. Now that school is back in session, this bracelet will make a great gift for you to show your appreciation for the teachers in your child's life. 

Supplies:

Bangle Bracelet

Cotton Fabric

Lace Ribbon

Pearls

Metal Blank

Dictionary

E6000 or Tacky Glue

ModPodge

Paintbrush

Pencil

Scissors

Sandpaper

Paint

Rag

Cut slits in the fabric about 1 inch apart. Tear the fabric into strips. Tear the fabric rather than cut so that the edges are frayed.

Add a dot of E6000 to the inside of the bangle. Place a strip of fabric on the glue and begin wrapping around the bangle. Secure the end of the strip on the inside of the bangle with glue. Overlap different patterns of fabric until the bangle is covered with fabric.

Wrap lace ribbon around the bangle securing with E6000.

Place the metal blank, found in the jewelry supply section of the craft store, over the word, teach, in the dictionary, trace around it with a pencil, and cut it out. 

Add ModPodge to the blank with a paintbrush and adhere the paper. Smooth out any bubbles and add a top coat of ModPodge. Allow to dry and sand the edges if the paper is larger than the blank.

Use a damp rag to add a thin coat of paint, in a color that coordinates with the fabric, to the edges of the paper.

Glue the metal piece onto the bangle and add a row of pearls around it with E6000.

Other words such as love, art, joy, etc. can be used in this definition DIY project to create a variety of bracelets for any profession or personality.
