Months ago I got this amazing crochet fabric in Downtown LA…and it’s been sitting in my fabric box ever since. It’s so beautiful, but I have no idea what to do with it.
I got annoyed with myself for just letting it sit there, so I figured I could at least do a little project with it 
Leather and Lace Cuff
lace or crochet fabric/trim
woven flat trim (like you would get for a belt)
bias tape or leather trim
two buttons
fray check
fabric glue
needle and thread
scissors
Cut a length of woven trim so it wraps around your wrist and meets with no overlap. Apply fray check to ends.
Cut lace/crochet strip the width and length of your woven trim.
Attach lace/crochet to trim with fabric glue. Let dry completely.
Sew a button on one end. Make sure the edge of the button lines up with the edge of the trim.
Cut a length of leather or bias tape the length of your trim + 5 inches. Glue down the middle starting underneath your button.
Glue down, leaving the tail unattached.
Sew the other button directly on top of the leather/bias tape strip. Leave the tail dangling.
Put it on by wrapping the tail around the two buttons and tucking it under itself.
That’s all there is to it!
I love that it can be worn both ways…buttons on top or buttons below. And for once, a bracelet that LJ can’t rip right off my arm to play with…score!
super cute! i just made a leather and pearls bracelet a few days ago that i'm going to post soon…we should wear our cute diy bracelets together and be twinseys
This is too cute! I love it. Thanks so much for sharing. I think I'll have to go make myself one.
adorable! i love that you can wrap the tail around the buttons!
Very cute!
