Tutorial: a ghostly pale wrist corsage.

Hi, Today I made these bracelets, featuring mod, kitschy, semi-transparent flowers.

Does anyone recognize the flowers? It's something I bought at a home improvement store. Look!

It's a rubber sink mat, a really pretty one. It's designed so you can cut away a few flowers to make a hole for your drain. Bah! I would rather make jewelry. So I snipped off some individual flowers.

I can think of a jillion ways to use these! I'm still experimenting, Mad Scientist style. For the moment, how about a flower bracelet tutorial?

I'm going to show two versions – one using jewelry findings, and one using sewing supplies (in case you're not a jewelry making type, or don't have the findings handy.)

First, the jewelry-maker's version. I used two ghost flowers, a watchband, one headpin, and some beads and spacers.

1. Poke a hole in the watchband with a sharp poky thing.

2. Stack the bits and pieces. The key is to sandwich the watchband and flowers between two flat items. This creates a solid base.

3. Add cute beads of your choice, and fold the headpin down against them. 4. Use round-nose pliers to make a swirly to finish it off. Be sure to really cinch that swirly down tight.
