    Look for a metal bangle bracelet that is perfectly round and thin. It needs to be sturdy as it will be the base of your pentagram necklace.

  2. Step 2

    Tie the ribbon or yarn tightly around the the bangle. Trim one end of the ribbon close to the knot and coat in glue so it doesn't come loose. Allow it to dry completely.
