1. Whitewash bangle: Dampen paper towel and dip into paint. Smooth paint onto the surface of the bangle, inside and out. Let dry.

2. Balance the bangle on a small bowl. For each stripe, brush one side of tissue with adhesive and smooth the strip onto the bangle. Leave the excess tissue at inner edge. Let dry.3. Trim excess tissue using craft knife. Brush adhesive over outside of bracelet to seal. Let dry. Ta Da! Your done! Wasn't that super easy!!??
