This cuff would look spectacular on a sun tanned arm!  It is pretty and lightweight and ideal for summer time wardrobes.

If you are following the posts this week, I am turning the new ultra suede strips into cuffs with crystal snaps.  This the Crystal Applicator.

Some tips I can now share include the following.   ONE – I would add your crystal snaps at the start of your project.  This way you know that the closures are where they should be and that the cuff is wearable.  TWO – Use a pencil to mark the location of a floral element such as the one I am using.  I tried my cuff on and then marked the spot the flower should be attached.  THREE – Quick Grip works amazingly FAST on suede!  I removed the pin from the back of the flower so that it would be easier to glue in place.

There are new iron on crystals to work with too!  Preciosa HotFix are perfect to use with our Dazzle-It Hot Fix Applicator.  You just select the right tip to use with the matching iron-on crystal.

I created my design and then placed my tip over the crystal already in place on the suede.

This cuff looks perfect from the back and front!  The flower beaded brooches are available in eight colours.

More cuffs in the next few days!
