I have mentioned before that a brass cuff is just a blank canvas to anyone creative.
This cuff was easy to craft. To start I gathered my main items; cuff, gray ultra suede, Quick Grip glue and some embellishments.
The filigree connectors can be used in many ways. I added a little glue to their backs to secure them in place. The SWAROVSKI Crystal Rock circle could be ironed on, but I chose to glue it in place as well.
When my glue was dry I took the extra step to also sew my connectors in place. I pre-poked holes through the ultra suede to make this easier.
My Dazzle-it needles and silk thread were ideal for my sewing task.
I then added some Preciosa crystal flat backs for extra glitter.
I then glued my ultra suede cuff to my metal cuff. The added stitches will ensure my connectors do not pop off on the curved edges.
Later, I wire-wrapped a vintage brooch to my cuff. Options are endless!
The current issue of Perles et cetera magazine has another cuff Idea I designed featuring feathers and a button.
