I made this DIY glittered wrist cuff from my very own glittered fabric (click here for the tutorial). I cut a swatch for my wrist, sewed on a fabric image of La Virgen and seamed the edges with a tight zigzag stitch.
SUPPLIES for a DIY Glittered Wrist Cuff:
Swatch of canvas fabric that fits around your wrist
Craft paint
White craft glue
Loose glitter
Spray sealer
Fabric picture, sewing machine
Velcro or elastic and button
Trim
Start by painting the cuff in a base coat, then let dry.
Add a coat of white craft glue and pour on the glitter. Pat it into the glue. Let dry.
Spray with the sealer, let dry.
Use a heavy-duty machine needle to sew on the fabric picture.
Add trim if desired.
I added rickrack and stitched on some matching elastic at the end of the bracelet. That big yellow piece is not a button – it is a vintage clip earring. I glued the clasp down and then stitched through the opening. I added a milagro charm too.
I am 100% smitten with this bracelet. So much that I plan to make more of these with all kinds of different images. The glitter is sealed down, but still so sparkly!
