Ta-Da! Introducing the project I made with all those inkle bands:
Inkle Bangles!
I am doing my version of the dance of joy right now. If this was a football game my team would definitely be charged with an excessive celebration penalty.
This inkle project has been an idea in my head since October. I could see what I wanted, but wasn’t sure how to create it. I made a few samples that were unsuccessful, but close, then I finally came up with the right process. Yay!
My studio (a.k.a the room where crazy happens) is such a mess right now. The past two weeks have been a crazy dash of conceptualize, weave, create, tweek, repeat. Nothing I used in the create/tweek stages has been put away. I can’t pause the creative process and clean up when I am in the zone. Actually, I don’t ever like to clean, but that’s not the point. Crazy was happening.
The bangles take about 3 hours to make, including weaving time. Not a bad time investment considering what I end up with.
I am SO SO jazzed about how they turned out! It always feels great when something I have envisioned in my mind turns out even better than I hoped. And it is just an added bonus if I can wear it too.
warp, weave, be happy.

Gorgeous!! You are so talented. Lovely to meet you while waiting for the shuttle at opryland. xo
Thank you Lisa for the kind words! It was great to meet you too.
Wow! Those are cool! Of all the things I’ve done with an inkle band, that had not occurred to me. ~Annie
Thanks Annie. They were really fun to make!
Hi, they are really beautiful. Do you sell the directions on how to make the bangles? I would sure love to be able to make them.
Take Care,
Paulette
Paulette, I am glad you like them. They really came out how I hoped they would. I plan to make tutorials available soon. Send me your email and I will be sure to let you know when they are available!
Hi, thank-you. My email is, [deleted for privacy]. I am really looking forward to your tutorials. Your work is so beautiful.
Thanks again,
Paulette
I love your bracelets! Could you add me to the ever increasing list of people wanting to purchase the instructions?
My pleasure! Go to the contact page and send me your email address. I’ll be sure to let you know when they are available.
I would like the direction/tutorial for these bangles. Soecifically how wide and did you weave tubular? Thank you
Judy, I am so glad you like the bangles! I worked on those quite a bit before I got the result I was looking for. I plan on making some tutorials available on Etsy soon – including the bangles.
Hi, I know I am really looking forward to your tutorial for your bangeles.
Take care,
Paulette
That is so nice to hear! It’s coming!
That is really great! I can’t wait.

I saw these up front and in person and am just amazed at how exquisitely beautiful they are. Just gorgeous. I’m sure the penalty for excessive celebrating would be waived.
Would you please give me the instructions for making these? I’ve emailed you already about these and the roses, but you haven’t gotten back to me. I’d love to make these and I think the roses would be perfect gifts. If you’re not keeping this going anymore, I’m sorry to hear that. You’re a wonderful designer and instructor, please keep it up!
