DIY Cuffs

I was inspired by the Get Holly cuffs to make these. I initially just wanted to purchase from them but all of the designs that I wanted were sold already :( S'all good though because I got a lot out of this project, some visual/artistic stimulation, good use of my old beads, and practically free new accessories!


And this is a personalized cuff I made for a friend who celebrated her birthday just recently:

I haven't given it to her yet. hehehe! Her name is Osang.

I don't own a sewing machine and even if I had one, I wouldn't know how to use it! So these were hand sewn with classic running stitch or glued. hahaha! I didn't know that sewing satin was such a pain in the butt. Threads from the fabric kept on falling out! It's a good thing it holds glue very well :p

They're still a far cry from those being sold at Get Holly but I'm quite happy with these!
