Don’t even want to spend $5.00 on a gift? Well then, how does 8¢ sound to you? Yeehaw.
Remember when I asked “what do you get when you cross some scraps of fabric with shower curtain rings?” THIS. This is what you get. (I found the idea here.)
Now I know what you’re thinking, but just settle down. Cute as these are, you need to leave your shower curtain right where it is. Your family will not be nearly as thrilled to see your creations at the end of the day if they walk into the bathroom and see the shower curtain crumpled on the floor.
Instead, I suggest that everyone of you needs to head to the store right this minute (after you finish reading this) to pick up a package of shower curtain rings. I got a 12-pack for just 97¢.
If you have little girls in your life, you should pick up several packs because these bracelets are sooooo much fun to make! These would be perfect gifts for friends at school, cousins, nieces – and if you cut off the end of the ring, these should fit many adult ladies too.
I made 12 bracelets in less than an hour using my handy new $3 hot glue gun. If I can make these, anyone can make them – guaranteed. If you have bits of fabric lying around, this is a great way to use it up and avoid spending extra money on this gift.
How to Make Quick and Easy Fabric Bracelets
What You’ll Need
- Shower Curtain Rings
- Fabric Scraps, cut into about 1/2″ x 18″ strips
- Hot Glue Gun
- Scissors
What To Do
- Begin by hot gluing one end of the fabric strip to the inside of a shower curtain ring.
- Tightly wrap the fabric around and around the ring, adding one or two more drops of hot glue to secure the fabric as you go.
- Cut any left-over fabric off at the end and glue in place.
I plan to gift some of these to my elementary-aged prayer pal at church – a little reminder that I’m praying for her. I’ll let my nieces pick out a few. Malachi even suggested that we send some to Gladis. Won’t she have fun sharing some of these with her friends!
Hope you have as much fun with these as I am having. Thanks to everyone who has sent in Homemade Gifts for Under $5 ideas. Keep them coming! I’ll be sharing them here soon. You won’t believe how many great ideas there are for inexpensive homemade gifting!
