Handmade Christmas Part V

Cherry Cuff, originally uploaded by B.B. Bellezza.

I made several of these fabric cuffs for everyone who I could think of. This particular one went to my sister-in-law, but I made other cuffs in different fabrics.

Some of them I made with rough edges and threw them in the washing machine so they would fray. This one has smooth edges.

The inside fabric is demin, actually from a pair of jeans that were about to be thrown out. Actually, I think we all know that ripped up jeans would never been thrown out in my house...although I wasn't sure what I was going to do with them until this project came up.

I absolutely loved making these cuffs! I also conquered making button holes to make these!

In fact, I love making them so much, I am adding them to my jewelry line. Right now there are a few available at artMarket, but they will soon be appearing in my Etsy and Artfire Shops soon, too.

I am also envisioning them with embriordery (a new skill I am working on).
