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.

Here's an example of another similar one but made longer with more overlap and some decorative yellow stitching:


 Two contrasting thread colors add interest.

This one was also made with denim and T-shirt fabric, but it is rectangular with the T-shirt as the outside and the denim as the lining.


 I used printed T-shirt fabric as the outside of this cuff.

I've made many of these cuffs over the years, and while I like the snap closures, Velcro has been my most commonly used option. Velcro is easy to sew on, makes for reversible cuffs if you want, and makes the cuffs super easy to put on and take off. I've also made a few with buttons and fabric or ribbon loops as buttonhole closures. Below is an assortment of cuffs I've made, all from recycled materials.


 Be creative and have fun with it!

No metal allergies, no worrying about treatment of diamond miners, no great expense, washable, and best of all, we can make it ourselves, any kind of way we want!
