The bangles are very fascinating and colourful ornament of tradition women. A research work involved interviewing the helper of Mr. Ahemad(shop owner) , Mr. Irshad. He was questioned on how these bangles were made. He told us that he has seen these bangles being manufactured in Ferozabad.
A number of people work in bangle industry to bring out the final product. Firstly , the molten glass is transferred on to pipes and is beaten to make equal in dimensions without removing the pipe. Mr. Irshad's words"the molten glass comes out like mehendi from mehendi cone". The pipe along with molten glass is sent to a machine where the glass comes in contact with an automatic roller. There the hot molten glass starts expanding and rolls around it increasing in size. This results in formation of glass spring. Later the bangles are manually separated by cutting the glass spring with a blade.

Next step entails another set of people who join the open ends of the bangles. These are later made to look neat and straight by another set . this final product is a result of lot of labour and hard work of bangle makers.
