BUTTON Bracelet!
Sep. 6th, 2002 10:04 ama couple people asked me how i made it so I thought I'd post it. I'll try to explain anyways.
I took a peice of cloth, in this case denim from some old pants, and cut it to a length a little longer than what I'd need to fit around my wrist. then I sewed differednt colored buttons onto the cloth. I changed my thread on each button and used colored thread to make the color of each button I used. at one end I left bit of room. the denim that was sticking out on each side I pulled back and sewed together behind the back of the buttons, so as to prrevent the denim from fraying and such. then at the end where there was no button, I made a button hole! just big enough to slip a button through to keep the bracelet around my wrist!
I hope this all makes sense. it's hard for me to explain things over the internet without showing you.
someone also asked how I made the flower ones. I'm not sure I can explain that but if I do figure out how I'll post it later. :)
