Other Tools and Notions:

– Tape measure
– Tapestry needle size 18 or 20
– Small, sharp scissors

– Wooden dowel, 0.25 in (0.6 cm) in diameter and 10–12 in (25–30 cm) in length. A pencil can also be used as an alternative. However, do not substitute a straw—straws lack the necessary stability and often collapse, which can distort the shape of the tube and result in an uneven bangle.
