So I had a ton of tie ends (the skinny tails), left over from making a tie skirt1 a couple years ago. I figured I could put them to good use, and finally decided I could make little cuff bracelets out of them and some cute vintage buttons I inherited from my mom and grandmother's sewing collection.
I measured them on my wrist, folded over the not-pointy end and stiched it closed. Matched a button to each tie, then sewed a buttonhole on the pointy end. Boy, it's been a while since I machine-stitched (okay, any stitch) a buttonhole, and wow did I really suck at it. This is one of the later (and better) ones. Ugh.
On my wrist!
A fleet of them! (I have three others that aren't pictured because I did them on an earlier night and they were already in my jewelry drawer)
I made a couple double-length ones that could be chokers, or doubled up on the wrist. Doesn't this one look so academic? :)
1 Todd Oldham taught me how, in, like 1993.
