~my DIY studded cuffs~

 I've been wanting a pair of rockin cuffs

for awhile now....for those days that I feel like a 

SUPERHERO....

or a ROCK STAR....

or a TEENAGER.  

Most days I just feel tired. 

 

I found these faux studded headbands at the

Dollar Store and knew I'd hit the jackpot.

The only materials needed besides the plastic

studded material are velcro and glue.

I initially tried hot glue and it DIDN'T work.

I had to go in for the big guns and pull 

out my E-6000. It worked GREAT....

and in my opinion it smells good too :)

I cut the plastic studs the size of my wrists and 

attached a thin piece of velcro to each end 

as a closure method.

 Be sure to attach the velcro to the opposite sides

at the ends so it lays flat. 

(one piece to the under-side and 

the other to the up-side) 

 I was able to make both of these with just

one headband. I'm not gonna lie.....they are a bit

itchyscratchy but I'm willing to deal 

with a little bit of discomfort for the sake

of fashion. I can attach a lining of

felt or softer material to the underside if

I want it to be softer.      

 I can also stack them for a really wide cuff.

Not bad for a dollar eh?

Just the right balance of bling, rock and trend

for my taste......and my budget :)

Hope your weekend has been fun
