As I was surfing Style.com to see what trend we have to expect in spring I came across these zipper bracelets by Viktor & Rolf and completely fell in love... what these cost though... pfew!
Luckily I figured out a way to make look-a-likes

1
Take a zipper which size is bigger than the bangle when wrapped around.
Wrap it around.
Cut where it meets the beginning of the zipper.
-
2
Measure the length of the zipper.
-
3
Take a piece of scrap fabric. It's very important your fabric is synthetic!
My bangle had a length of 26.5cm I cut a piece of fabric measuring 27.5 cm (you are going to snip the excess at the end). For the width I took 2.5cm with a 0,8cm seam allowance.
It's okay if the width of the fabric is smaller than that of the bangle this way it gets a finished look.
-
4
Unzip the zipper so that you have two pieces of zipper.
Take your fabric and one piece of the zipper and put right sides together.

:) SEW!

6
Sew the other side of the zipper (right sides together) making sure it's on the same length as the zipper piece you have already sewn.
-
7
Iron it and snip the excess fabric right up to where you've sewn DON'T SNIP THE THREAD!
-
8
Take your bangle and fabric and zip it on! You might have to pull a little because it might be tight.
Where beginning and end meet cut to size if necessary and smooth down the edges with a lighter this way the fabric won't unravel. `
You can zip it closed or halfclosed it's up to you!
Personally I like to leave it open because I want to show the colour of the bangle I'm wearing underneath.
