Dragonfly Cuff

Sometimes the smallest object can inspire an upcycling project. In this case, it was a sweet dragonfly charm which came attached to the price tag of some jeans I bought eleven years ago. The jeans have since died and gone to denim heaven, but the charm sat in my sewing basket until it was pressed into service for this cuff. I made it a few years ago, so it's looking a little worse for wear close up...but you get the idea.


 Wool left over from a scarf.


Button from my Grandma's button box.



Scrap material left over from other projects and a beautiful vintage print fabric from Hunter Gatherer in St Kilda.


Twist the wool around the button and wear!

  1. Just look at that rose bush! Who is your gardener? An elegant location (your wrist that is) to display one of your superb and original creations.
