Bow Tie Cuff Bracelet From A Man's Shirt
"This is a super quick and fun upcycle project. I actually challenged myself to upcycle the whole of two of my husband's dress shirts and I ended. up making 18 things! This is by far one of the simplist. A cute 'bow tie' look cuff bracelet that you can make in about 90 seconds! If you want to see the other things I made with my husband's shirts you can click on the blog link. I made a tote bag, teddy bear, kid's apron, key chains, a macrame style wall hanging, a zipper pouch, bookmarks, quilted pot holders and some other jewellery pieces all from 2 shirts! Happy crafting!"

Materials List
- Men's Shirt Cuff
- Needle and thread
Instructions
-
Cut the cuff off of a man's shirt as neatly as possible.
-
If needed you can machine sew the edge where you cut to stop it from fraying (but I didn't).
-
Pinch the cuff at the midway point from the underside and pin.
-
Hand sew to hold the 'pinched' bow in place.
-
Use the original cuff button to close around your wrist! That's it!
