25 Days of Christmas - Day 15

Another one of a kind piece for Day 15.


Today's one of a kind piece is a beautiful cuff bracelet, and I apologize because the pictures do not do this bracelet justice.



I wrapped a light weight aluminum cuff in orange and white patterned fabric. I then took two strips of navy and white fabric with one strand of vintage rhinestone chain and braided the three. This creates such a unique look. I generally refer to this as my "Auburn Cuff" (because of the colors), but I think it is a beautiful piece that could be for anyone!

The cuff is $12 with $2 shippingOrders will be processed through PayPal. Please leave a comment below with any questions. Make sure that your email is linked to your comments, so that I can contact you with more information.


Happy shopping, and Happy December!

This Week's Featured Item

This week's featured item is one of my Vintage Finds Cuff Bracelets.


I started with a light weight aluminum cuff blank. I wrapped the cuff in tan linen and made braided rosettes bases.


The single pink flower was a vintage earring, and the ornate flower cluster was a brooch. The cameo is a new piece added with the old. I love the color combinations and visual interest of this bracelet.

Today's Featured Item

Today I'm featuring my Vintage Bow Bracelet, and I'm presenting you with my first "Buy This - Not That" scenario.


I wrapped a light-weight aluminum cuff with tan linen and vintage chain. I then re-purposed a vintage gold bow brooch as the perfect cuff accent.

Bows are big!! I've done my research and found comparable bow bracelets.

This bracelet found here costs $110.
Leighton Meister wore this bow cuff in an episode of Gossip Girl.
 One like that costs $150 here.
Get these two looks for less with my $15, one-of-a-kind cuff.

Vintage Finds Collage Cuffs

I've been busy collecting all my vintage finds and grouping them perfectly to make Collage Cuffs. I just love this idea.

I've wrapped aluminum cuff bracelets with linen fabric. Some of the bracelets include braided rosettes, vintage finds, and new pieces.


This "Sparkle" cuff bracelets features two mini-braided rosettes supporting a gold vintage framing pin. The rhinestone details are redesigned and given new life as they used to part of a vintage costume necklace.


This simple "Bow" cuff features a vintage gold chain wrapped around the bracelet. The large gold bow used to be a brooch.


This was the very first cuff I made. This "Gold Flower" cuff features large braided rosettes with several vintage pieces. The gold filigree flower pieces and the larger gold flower with pearl center were once brooches. The two accent pearls were a part of a larger costume necklace.


This "Pearl and Chain" cuff features linen and chain mail braided together. The large pendant was once on a very unique vintage charm necklace. The two accent pearls were a part of a costume necklace.


This "Pink" cuff is so feminine. Two large braided rosettes support an intricate vintage pin and pink rose earring. The small cameo is a new piece that adds a pop of color.

I'd love to get feedback on these new pieces. I'm hoping to add them to my Etsy shop soon, but they are for sale through my blog. Please contact me if you are interested (shipping will be added to final price).

I really enjoy making these and have plans for several more designs to come soon!
