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 Aurélie 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
