trade

I received my button cuff from KreatedbyKelly today! She received her button bracelet in the mail earlier this week and left me wonderful feedback about it. Here's the cuff that I got. (This is one of the pictures from the listing. My wrist is smaller than that haha.)


I sewed an extra clasp button on it because it was a little big on me and now it fits perfectly. I love it! I also really like this cuff from her shop:


Kelly very generously included a small Ziplock in my package that is packed full of beautiful yellow, green, blue, and purple buttons! What a wonderful surprise! I know that they will be a great addition to my collection for the making of some beautiful button charm bracelets. I would also like to try using some bigger buttons as bracelet clasps, too. I have a number of bigger buttons from Kelly, as well as from my button order from kellwood and my vintage collection from my mom's stash (which includes buttons from one of my grandmas and one of my great-grandmas). I have seen some beautiful bracelets with button clasps like this one, but have not attempted it yet myself. I will be sure to post the results when I do. :)

  1. Hi there!! I am so glad you love your cuff *smiles* That was so wrong of me to not ask if you needed another button stitched on. My model is my 11 year old son -- you have a tiny wrist *smiles*

    Note to self: ask clients if they need the cuff to go smaller than I think *smiles*

    I love my bracelet btw and have it on right now!!

  2. Hi! No prob!! I thought that it would fit with the smaller one, but it was just a little big. It only took a couple minutes to make the adjustment.

    I'm so glad that you're enjoying your bracelet! :)
