°FULL CIRCLE° - FELT BRACELET
What you need:
a stripe of thick felt, felt of different colours, embroidery floss, a snap fastener.
How to make it:
Cut lots of circles out of felt of different colours. To make one of the circles of the bracelet you need four circles: two big ones, a medium and a small one.
Put the small circle on the medium one and the medium one on the big ones and sew them together using the embroidery threads. I don't like the "bull's eye effect", I prefer the eccentricity.
Create some circles. The ones you see in the pictures are the ones I used for my bracelet: I used nine circles, sized about 1,5 - 2 cm.
Cut a stripe of thick felt, about 1 cm wide. Cut it long enough to turn around your wrist and overlap for about 1 cm.
Sew the two parts of the snap fastener to the felt stripe. They have to be on opposite ends and on different sides of the stripe, as you can see below.
Start sewing the first circle, attaching it to one end of the stripe, covering a part of the fastener.
To sew the circle use orange thread (if your stripe is orange) and tiny hidden stitches on the borders of the stripe.
Attach lots of circles one very close to the other, because they "dilate" when you wear the bracelet.
Cover almost the whole stripe, except for the other part of the snap fastener.
And here it is, already done! All you have to do is wear it and cut lots of other circles to create the whole set of °Full Circle° jewels...
