Some of my favourite types of DIY projects are cheap and easy but produce big results. I think this sequin bangle fits into those categories perfectly. Have fun making it! MATERIALS: Bracelet (I bought mine at a dollar store for $1.25, but you could use an old one that you already have) Sequins (I used 20mm silver sequins, but feel free to choose different sizes or colors) Hot glue gun (TIP: If I do this project again I would use crazy glue as the hot glue melted some of the sequins if I applied the sequin right away) Hot glue sticks STEP ONE: Apply a small dot of glue and adhere the first sequin. Continue by creating your first row, overlapping each sequin slightly. My row consisted of 3 overlapped sequins. STEP TWO: Once your first row is created, continue along the bracelet making more rows that overlap eachother and create a dragon or fish scale look until the entire bracelet is covered. And that’s it! Have fun making your own sequin bangle and try using different colours, sizes and types of sequins. As I mentioned above, crazy glue may be a better option to avoid melting the sequin. However, once I got started I developed the right technique to allow the hot glue to cool just enough so it wouldn’t melt the sequin. -Emilee
