Silk Embroidered Bracelet

Image
Ever wonder what to do with those small pieces of Dupioni   in your stash. How about making an Embroidered Bracelet. Scrap of Silk Dupioni  9 x 18 cm. Red in this example. Pelon 4 cm x 18 cm.  Red Sequin Braid,  Organza Red Ribbon 20 mm. wide  Selection of Pressed Glass Leaves, Pearls, Seed Beads  in Gold or Bronze. Silk Ribbon 7 mm Red 1 Metre. Large Pearl and Bead Cap in Gold  ( Centre of Gathered Organza Flower) Thread - Clear beading thread or a matching colour. Toggle/Clasp. Place the Pelon on the back of fabric, allowing  .5 cm   for a seam allowance on both sides,  press down with iron on  silk setting then lightly  tack pelon into position. ( Usually best to overlock the edges of Dupioni  as they  do fray badly while you are embroidering) This will be folded in half and the seams stitched  together after completing embroidery. Pin the braid and organza ribbon...
