  So cute! Reminds me of the dangly button earrings I made once waaay back when. But your bracelet looks better – ie: is more wearable and less tacky!

    Da brauchst Du nur winzige Stoffstückchen, vielleicht erbarmt sich eine Bekannte, die schon länger näht.

    Danke Dir :)
    Das sind ganz normale überziehbare Knöpfe, die gibt es in Kunststoff (imho nicht so doll…) und aus Metall in verschiedenen Größen.
    Am besten mal im Kurzwarenhandel einfallen und schauen, was es da so gibt!

  Thank you so much for sharing! Too bad I don’t have a chain like those… Anybody know from where I can buy them? And they’d be big, please, ‘cause my hand ain’t small. xD

    Those (or similar) bracelets are available in craft shops that carry jewelry-making-supplies.
    Many online-shops carry those as well, maybe you can google one that’s near you so the shipping costs won’t be that high.

  I love this idea and ordered all the bits I needed today, have some great pieces of fabric to use, I knew it was worth saving them :-) Thanks

  thanks sew-mad!!! definitely a great way to use small bits of leftover fabric. I knew I was right to keep bags and bags of them :) Off shopping for bracelet chains, jump rings and self covering buttons…
