Weddings and festivals call for beautiful bangles and kade that enhance your entire traditional look. However, buying matching designer bangles with every new outfit isn't always necessary. If you open your wardrobe, you are likely to find several old bangles that you haven't worn in a long time—some faded, others left with incomplete sets. Instead of tossing them out as waste, you can give them a fresh and stylish makeover right at home.
A brilliant DIY video currently making rounds on social media shows how you don't need to spend a fortune on expensive market-bought designer kade. With just a few old bangles lying around your house, colorful silk threads, some beads, and a bit of lace, you can craft stunning heavy kade. It doesn't require grueling effort or professional crafting skills.
Simple Steps to Create Designer Kade
Follow these easy steps to upcycle your old bangles into gorgeous pieces of jewelry:
- Clean the Bangles: Start by picking bangles of the same size and cleaning them thoroughly with a cloth. Ensure there are no cracks.
- Create a Base: Combine four bangles together to form a thicker kade structure. Use craft glue where necessary to fix them firmly and let them dry.
- Wrap with Silk Thread: Take your favorite silk thread and wrap it neatly around the bangles. Make sure there are no gaps left in between. Secure the ends with glue.
- Decorate with Beads and Lace: Add golden lace along the edges and stick shimmering beads or stones in the middle for that royal, heavy finish.
A New Trend in Budget Fashion
Upcycling and sustainable fashion are taking over social media trends. Transforming unused items not only benefits the environment but also unleashes your inner creativity. The stunning matching kade created through this method pair wonderfully with traditional ethnic outfits.
