How to Make Dancing Anklets
- 1). Measure your ankle with a tape measure to determine the correct size for the ankle bracelet. You'll want the bracelet to fit tight on your ankle.
- 2). Cut out one rectangle of velvet fabric and quilt batting, twice the length you measured and 1 inch wide.
- 3). Pin the batting to the fabric and fold the fabric in half, batting side out.
- 4). Straight stitch the two long ends of the bracelet closed on a sewing machine and turn right side out through the short end.
- 5). Cut the batting back slightly and tuck, fold and sew the bracelet closed.
- 6). Sew jingle bells along the outside of the bracelet, using a needle and thread. Pack the bells as tightly together as possible, trying to get at least 30 on the bracelet.
- 7). Sew two jewelry clasps onto the upper and lower ends of the bracelet for a tight hold during dancing.
