---

You've taken a stroll through our haberdashery and are now feeling inspired, but to what you are not sure. Why not create some of these dainty ribbon bracelets, perfect for you or your little princess at home.

Supplies
Various cuts of ribbon (depending on how many bracelets you are looking to make) at least 18mm wide
A collection of beautiful buttons and beads
Wire – thin enough to thread through the beads and malleable enough for you to manipulate
Wire cutters
Needles and thread

Instructions


• Design 1
Select your ribbon and button. Fold back one end of the ribbon and sew a button hole big enough to fit the width of the button. Measure the wrist and add an extra 3cm to the end of the ribbon without the hole. Fold the ribbon back on itself and size it on the wrist. Finally, sew the button on.










• Design 2

Select your ribbon, a button and some beads. Fold back one end of the ribbon and sew the cut edge, keeping the sides free and open. Cut a 12cm length of wire and thread it through the opening. Using the wire as thread, create a loop of beads large enough to slip over the button. Twist off the wire and trim wire edges using the cutter. Measure the wrist and add an extra 3cm to the end of the ribbon without the hole. Fold the ribbon back on itself and size it on the wrist. Finally, sew the button on.
