Use some recycled fabric to make a custom cuff for your wrist!
Ive made tons of these, since they are a quick, fun project with so much possibility!
Two contrasting thread colors add interest.

If you pay attention to both the top and bottom fabric and thread colors, you can end up with a reversible cuff. I've made some with one side being a dark fabric/light thread and the other side a light fabric/dark thread; with a Velcro closure, they are totally reversible!


 Here's the back of mine, with orange thread.

I decided to use a snap for the closure on this one—a good choice for triangle-shaped cuffs. I use a wooden spool to hammer on my snap parts.


 An old wooden spool is a great tool for snap installation.

And it's done!


 My new recycled denim, asymmetrical, topstitched, snappy cuff!
