Doiley Cuff Bracelet




I'd been toying with this idea for a little while now and I have slowly been chipping away at it this week in the evenings (now work's eased off a bit, I have time in the evenings - big tired grin).

Its a cuff-style bracelet - with a touch of whimsy. You need a thin doiley to do this, I'd looked at using a thicker doiley but it was just too chunky to work with.

First Step:
Fold your doiley into a rectangle.

Step Two:
Embelish as you like! I added buttons and a strand of faux pearls from repurposed necklace.
Step Three:
Add a clasp to the back. You could also stitch ribbons on to make a bow. But I knew that would annoy me, particularly if I decide to wear it to work.

The Result:
