And phew, she loves it!
Materials needed:
*Scraps of fabric
*Anti-roll elastic
*Felt flower or whatever embellishment you want to use
Cut materials to the following sizes.
*Large piece of fabric 10 1/2″ x 3 1/2″
*Small piece of fabric 5 1/2″ x 1 1/2″
*Anti-roll elastic 5 1/2″ x 1/2″
Take the longest piece of fabric and fold like you are going to make bias tape. Iron and then top stitch on edges. Make sure when top stitching that you sew it a little wider then the width of the elastic. This is your bracelet piece.
See, I sewed it really close to the edges. Put a pin on one side of the elastic and feed it through the bracelet. Sew elastic in place at both ends of bracelet.
Pin raw edges together, overlapping a tiny bit.
Zig-zag stitch all raw edges of smaller piece of fabric. Now sew down the middle of fabric on a stitch length of 4. Pull on one single string to make it ruffle.
Wrap the ruffled piece of fabric around the pinned edges of bracelet and sew shut. I sewed mine in three places, but you can sew as many times as you want. I sewed mine with a messy look, but you can fold it neatly if you want too.
Lastly, hand stitched a little felt flower on, or use your other embellishment of choice. I bought these adorable felt flowers from littlecards on etsy. I have bought a ton of these little flowers to make hair clips with. They are great quality and have held up great to the wear and tare of a almost 2 year old.
Make it bigger, skinnier or wider. Make your own flower or a bow. Get creative with them.
She loves taking it off and on. She moves it from the right hand to the left. She even likes to wear it as an ankle bracelet.

Yeah…I'm SO not crafty but love this for my little girl. You wouldn't HAPPEN to have a shop on Etsy that I could buy one from you?! 🙂
Thank you for this! I am looking to make a "magic bracelet" as suggested in the No-Cry Separation Anxiety Solution book by Elizabeth Pantley and I couldn't think of anything that would fit for potentially a couple of years, be sturdy enough to wear while playing, and be easy for me to make. This will totally fit the bill! Now to find some adorable fabric like yours!

Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything.
However just imagine if you added some great graphics or videos to give your posts more, “pop”!
Your content is excellent but with images and videos, this site could
definitely be one of the greatest in its field.
Good blog!
