How to Make a Lacy Ribbon Cuff

I don’t sew a lot.

And sewing something frilly is not my style.

However…I have a ton of lace.

I like to add it to my mixed media pieces.

I thought a craft project including lace would be a fun way to use up my extra scraps.

And so I made a tutorial on how to make cuff bracelets to do just that - use my scraps.

Materials:

• Ribbon

• Velvet ribbon

• Lace or trim

• Fabric stiffener

• Fabric glue

Step 1:

Paint fabric stiffener on the base ribbon and let dry.

Step 2:

Apply fabric glue to the velvet ribbon that is the same width or slightly smaller to your stiffened ribbon.

The velvet ribbon is put on so it’s soft next to your skin.

Step 3:

Fold the ends of the ribbon over about half an inch and apply fabric glue to hold the folded pieces.

Step 4:

Use a clip to hold the fold till the glue dries.

Step 5:

Add a ribbon clasp to the ends
