  2. Hey that’s really cool!

    Thanks for that!

  3. Rachel says:

    What a fun idea! I have some cuffs laying around that would work so well for this! I’ll be linking to this as well!

  4. Cyndi says:

    Thanks guys! Lynn, I got mine at
    http://www.beyondbeadery.com

  5. Interesting. My daughter makes one of her daughters ribbon decorated barettes for all her outfits. With this pattern she could even have matching bracelets.

    Congratulations on winning the gold in the pearl category at Fire Mountain Gems! I tried to see your piece but couldn’t figure out how.

  6. Cyndi says:

    Thanks Timaree. FMG doesn’t have the pictures online yet, but I’ll post about it soon :-)

  7. Kristina says:

    Very pretty — I like how you’ve used the ribbon here. I love ribbon, but don’t always know what to actually do with them apart from my suede bracelets and ribbon flower jewelry.

  8. Cyndi says:

    Ribbon has always kind of been a mystery to me too, Kristina! I love the way other people use them, but sometimes my attempts just look silly to me :-) This bracelet is pretty much a sure thing, though.

  9. Toni says:

    Where do you get the “blank cuffs?”

  10. Cyndi says:

    There are lots of places that carry them now, but I got this one at http://www.beyondbeadery.com/

  11. Melanie says:

    I have looked everywhere for these non metal blanks and cannot find them. Where did you get yours.

  12. Cyndi says:

    These are metal. I’ve got the link in the comment right up above yours :-)

  13. I am also looking for lucite cuff bracelet blanks. Can you help?
