Delicate Ribbon Bracelet

This fun bracelet is easy to create.  Children of all ages will love wearing this pretty bracelet and you will love making it.  It also makes a great party or group activity.  

Beads in a Bottle™ and gems by Tulip®, ILoveToCreate® on shimmering ribbon for a very delicate look.   With the wide-range of ribbons in stores, you can alter the look of this project to fit any colored outfit need. 

Just measure the wrist and add one inch to that dimension.  Cut the ribbon to that measurement and create ½” folds in the ribbon edges.  

Slip a tiny hair elastic onto one side of the folded edge and use Aleene's® Fabric Fusion® Permanent Dry Cleanable Fabric Adhesive Pen to glue the folded end of the ribbon.  I like to cover the area with waxed paper and then a clothes pin to hold the ribbon firmly.  Let this in place until the glue is dry.

Sew a decorative button on the opposite folded end of the ribbon.  Then, decorate the ribbon with your favorite Beads in a Bottle™ paint and gems.  The gems are glued to the ribbon with the bead paint.      

To wear, just place the ribbon on your wrist and then slip the hair tie over the button.
