Vintage Felt Flowery Wrist Cuff

Gather your materials

Felt in bright colors
Wide vintage ribbon to serve as wrist band
Needle Embroidery floss or thread
Scissors
Vintage buttons
Vintage beads or sequins

Cut the felt in flower and leaf shapes. (Print out this scan and cut out the shapes to use as patterns.)

Wrap the wide ribbon around your wrist, and add a couple of inches to that length, then cut the ribbon. Using flower and leave shapes, layer the shapes them over each other on top of the wide ribbon. The more layers the prettier your flower will be.

Stitch your basic layout to the ribbon using coordinating or contrasting thread or embroidery floss. Sew a button as the center. Embellish with embroidery, sequins, beads and other ribbon.
