Beaded Felted Cab Bracelet

Almost White Almost Bridal (CC66)

In Beaded Felt Cabs, I show some of the earliest felted cabs I made. These set of "Almost White Almost Bridal" felted cabs - I forgot to photograph.

I named them coz I think originally I meant to attempt a bridal set. Then that little brain nymph kept asking me "How about some color? Just a tiny bit?" and then the little color swirls happened. Hence it is now Almost White Almost Bridal!

Doing Up

I used Pellon "Under Wonder" fusible web to give the ends a firmer backing before folding over and making ready to sew on snap-on fasteners/buttons.

Then the transparent snap-ons are sewn on each end. After that, I applied more fusible webbing before sewing down and neatening edges. The underside of the buttons should not show.

Note to Self
It doesn't affect the functionality but next time, I have to do a backing for this ribbonbefore folding down the ends etc. so that the stitches at the back of the ribbon is also hidden. Next time ... just got away from me and I forgot to do this till all that fiddly sewing along the edges had already been done.

The ribbon I used here is a wire-ribbon (as it was thin wire along the long edges; both sides). Not too great for sewing coz it does not look so pretty on the underside after it has been sewn on. However the translucent edges really give it something and I might think of using this kind of ribbon again - but with more "improvements".

Result: Warm Retro Metallica Cuff Bracelet
