How to Make Cuff Bracelets From Fabric & Lace
- 1). Wrap measuring tape around your wrist to measure its circumference.
- 2). Cut a strip of lace long enough to fit around your wrist, using the measurement obtained in Step 1.
- 3). Cut a strip of fabric long enough to fit around your wrist and 3 inches wide.
- 4). Position the strip of lace down the center of the strip of fabric. Sew the strip of lace onto the strip of fabric with a needle and thread.
- 5). Flip the fabric over so the lace-embellished side is facing down. Turn down ¼ inch along the top and bottom edges of the cuff and press with a hot iron. Do the same with the ends. Hem these folded edges in place with a needle and thread.
- 6). Flip the fabric back over so it is right side up. Create a clasp for the cuff with a button and a small elastic loop. Sew a button on one end. Cut a portion of elastic long enough to make a loop that fits snugly over the button, and sew it on the other end.
- 7). Embellish your fabric and lace cuff with beads, charms, sequins, tiny bells or other trinkets. Sew them onto the outside of the cuff with a needle and thread.
