make: button placket bracelet

Making old into new is always so much fun, and I recently cut up a shirt to be made into something else. Of course, I didn't need all of the shirt, so I started thinking about how I could use the rest. The button placket caught me, so I slipped off a strip long enough to wrap around my wrist.

There are already button holes in it, so I made sure that one of the holes would be at the end.

On the other end, I sewed on a button. I wanted one that was cute, but would still fit...shirt buttons are fairly small.

Then I just wrapped and buttoned! It's pulled just a bit so that the overlap isn't too straight. I don't want it to look too much like a shirt cuff!

Easy, quick and fun!

Michael Ann used an old shirt and made a whole dress from it! I love it!
