The
weather is getting warmer and the sleeves are getting shorter. Exposed
wrists are in desperate need of jewelry – some new, some old and some
handmade. This season, I’m all about making these braided brass cuffs,
inspired by AurĂ©lie Bidermann’s Copacabana bracelet. The most
complicated step to this tutorial is drilling holes through the cuff but
if you’ve got a steady hand and a tiny drill bit, you’ll be churning
these out before you know it.
You’ll need:
- 1/2″ blank brass cuff
- 6 skeins of embroidery thread
- 1 skein of metallic gold embroidery thread
- an embroidery needle
- a rotary drill
- a drill bit
