Make Your Own Glass Bangle Set
Our Build-A-Bangle line is designed so you can pick groups of bangles to
create your own glass bangle sets. Select at least 8 bangles of each style so that you can mix and match those bangles together to create unique Indian
bangle sets!
Tips for getting the most out of your bangle collection...
- Select a minimum of three styles that work together.
Purchase as many BAB sets as you'd like. Make sure 3 of the sets can be
mixed and matched together. This will give you options when creating bangle sets.
- Select a variety of textures.
For the best look, try mixing both glittery and non-glittery styles
together.
- Choose colors that compliment the clothing in your
closet.
- Purchase extras of styles you'll wear most often.
For example, if you like black, instead of getting just 8 bangles, purchase 12 bangles in black.
- Select both gold and silver bangles.
It's ok to mix gold and silver in your glass bangles! In fact, it's
looks GREAT!

HOW TO PUT BANGLES ON
Measure Good Fitting
Bangles You Already Own
 Take
out bangles that you already have and measure the inside diameter and
compare to the below measurement chart or the measurement stated in the actual
bangle listing.
As long as you measure the inside diameter of your current bangles this will
be an accurate way to find your bangle size.

Measuring Your Hand with a Tape Measure
This can be used to find your bangle size, but is a
little bit trickier than the printable sizing template, but when done carefully
will give you an accurate result.
You will need a flexible tape measure or a piece of string and a ruler.
- Make your hand as small as possible, as if
you were putting on bangles, bringing your thumb and little finger together.
- Using the tape measure (or string), measure
the around your hand at the widest point (the tape measure should be pulled
taught, not loose). Make note of the actual circumference of your hand (if
you used string, make a mark where the string meets, then measure the length
of the string with your ruler to get your hand circumference).
- Compare your hand circumference to the
bangle circumference in the below chart. Purchase bangles that are the
next size up from your actual hand measurement.

Glass bangles are breakable and must be put on slowly and
carefully in small groups. Typically you will have to use lotion on your
hands to get these bangles to slip on. If in doubt of your bangle
size, size up. If you are buying a gift
for someone, get the 2.10 size.
