Amazing Wall Hanging Craft From Old Bangles and Matchboxes!

Things needed

• Empty matchboxes
• Bangles
• Glitter sheets
• Bead laces
• Craft mirrors
• Stone laces
• Glue and cutter

Procedure

Step 1: Take around 10 matchboxes and few bangles. Cut the matchboxes around 1 inch from one of the sides. After cutting the matchboxes, take the inner box and fix it back inside the matchbox. This would give you many matchboxes in square shape.

Step 2: Now take some glitter papers and the bangles. Cut out some strips from the glitter paper.

Step 3: Roll or wrap the strips over the bangles to cover them properly using some glue. Use one color for three bangles.

Step 4: Now take the matchboxes and other glitter sheets. Cover the entire matchbox using the glitter sheet. Use two different colors for the matchboxes.

Step 5: Time to decorate. Take some craft mirrors and bead laces. Stick the craft mirrors and stick them in the center of the matchboxes using glue. Apply glue surrounding the craft mirror and stick the beaded lace on it. Carry out a similar process for all the matchboxes.

Step 6: Now take a stone lace with two stones. Decorate the border of the matchsticks using the stone lace and glue.

Step 7: Using a pointer, make a hole on the triangular corner of the matchbox. Apply some glue there and stick a beaded lace allowing some portion to enter inside the box and a major portion outside. Continue a similar process with other matchboxes too. This would give you hanging matchboxes.

Step 8: Now take the bangles. Place one different colored bangle in the center and use glue to stick other bangles surrounding it to make a floral-like design.

Step 9: Using the glitter strips, bind the bangles together by applying glue.

Step 10: Place the remaining two bangles on the sides opposite each other and bind them similarly too.

Step 11: Now take the matchboxes and stick the beads hanging beside the binding strips allowing it to hang inside the bangle.

Step 12: Take a beaded lace and stick it on the upper bangle to give it a hanging strip.
