Felt bracelets
I love making bracelets from felt: they look beautiful, they are easy to sew, they can be given any shape and decorated with anything - from beads to embroidery. I made this bracelet from white, blue and light blue felt:
In addition to felt, I also used regular blue threads and floss threads, black and blue beads, and white beads. I used a button for the fastening.
First, I drew flower patterns of different sizes and shapes on paper. Then I cut out felt flowers using them. I measured the circumference of my wrist and cut out two identical strips from blue felt for the base of the bracelet. The strips should be slightly larger than the size of the wrist, since the bracelet is fastened with an overlap.
I assemble a flower from felt parts. I cut a small hole in the middle of the top white flower - there will be a bead there.
I sewed on the large white bead with beading fishing line. The needle was passed completely through the flower, thus fastening all four parts. Then I collected 2-3 black beads on the same fishing line and sewed them around a white bead.
I decorated the petals of white flowers with blue beads and embroidered them with blue thread.My white felt is dense, so the thread easily passed inside without leaving rough stitches.
The flower is ready. Let's put it aside for now. Now you need to make the very base of the bracelet. The two strips are sewn together at the very end so that all the purl seams are on the inside. In the meantime, I took one strip and with chalk marked the place where the flower would be located - in the center. Stepping back to the radius of the flower, I embroidered the petals with black beads. First, I collected two identical threads with beads, and then simply sewed them to the base at the beginning and at the folds.
All that remains is to sew on the flower itself. After the strip is completely decorated, we sew the two bases together with a decorative stitch. For this I used blue floss threads.
I made a neat cut on one end of the bracelet with nail scissors, and sewed a button on the other. The cut can also be covered with thread for strength, since the base is made of two layers. But, in general, the felt does not tear or fray.
The bracelet is ready. This bracelet goes well with denim or white summer clothes.
