We celebrated my daughter's birthday yesterday with two of her friends and a trip to the Exploritorium. After playing, snacking, and opening gifts, I gave each of the girls one of these little pocket bracelets I had made just before walking out the door. (Why plan ahead and ruin my reputation?) I had filled them with M&Ms so they would have a little surprise upon opening them. These were really quite easy to make and I figured the girls would enjoy having a tiny pocket filled with secret treasures on their wrists. My mistake was not making the flap of the envelope/pocket longer with the button hole a little lower, allowing the pocket to expand a bit more when filled. It still works nicely for very small treasures such as 5 M&Ms, tiny notes, spare change, small jewelry items, etc. Just a thought, in case you end up making some.
These would make sweet little Easter gifts, too.
If I get around to making a more masculine version for my son, I'll post that, as well.
CUTE!
ReplyDeleteI love 'em. My little boy would probably like them, but there's no telling what he might keep in them....hehehe.
ReplyDeleteI love these!!

Love these!!! I agree - who knows what my son would put in one if he had one. Probably rocks, bugs, dirt, etc.
ReplyDeleteAdorable!! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to have a big girl now. Mine will turn 5 in December and they are looking forward to it more than I am (babies are long gone but I still can not believe we're heading towards 5 years).
ReplyDeleteAnyway, very cute but how did you attach the pocket? I can see the rest but not that. Thanks, in advance!

I adore these! Been wanting to make some kind of fabric wristlets for my little girl students. They would love the pockets on these.
ReplyDeleteSuch gorgeous bracelets!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!!
Andrea,
ReplyDeleteI sewed the pocket separately and then positioned it where I wanted it on the ribbon-I just held it in place, but it may be advisable to pin it. I stitched across the bottom of the pocket, on top of the existing stitches that created the pocket, the width of the bracelet and then I opened the flap and stitched across the back of the pocket, just over the pocket opening. Does that make any sense??
Megan,
ReplyDeleteIt does make sense. Thanks!
I can not wait to make these!!!
Andrea
