We saw these funky bracelets in Maine, made from sequins and tiny beads sown onto strips of plastic, and I thought they were cool. AREA, maybe something for us to try to make at home? I don't know what plastic they used, but good cotton ribbons would be even better. Maybe as dog and cat collars too? Can't you just see a little pillow dog with one of these? Of course they weren't locally made, they were probably imported from China, the place for everything, especially plastic, but I think this can be developed into something even better and funkier.

I love buttons, so I´ll have to try it I think! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteThe buttons and sequins (paljetter) they used were quite small, only max 6 mm in diameter. Of course you can make bigger and wider bracelets, with bigger buttons, that would be great. I would probably sew the buttons onto a sturdy canvas band, then glue another band on top of that so the knots and seams don't scratch the skin.
ReplyDeleteEH, if you make any, post pictures here!
I would love to try these! They look AWESOME!
