I made these for ANE, as a play on this year's con theme of The Nineties. Here we've got a punk-style studded one, a bondage cuff one with a top strap and D-ring, and a dixie cup/Jazz patterned one. In case it wasn't clear, I'm a huge fan of smashing together incongruous genres and concepts.
It took more effort to get the idea to work than I'd expected, but I was really happy with the result. (For the curious: the bracelets have to be 2-layered to sandwich the metal spring core inside. It turned out the only way to make it sturdy enough was to hand-stitch it together. And since the layers have thickness to them, the inner one has to be slightly shorter than the outer one, with the stitching holes slightly compressed accordingly. That way, the natural relaxed shape of the bracelet once it's sewn together is curled up with an appropriate diameter.)
I got a video of the slap action on my Twitter. That post blew up, so they've been selling like hot cakes on my Etsy.
The Jazz design isn't on my Etsy because the last thing I made with that pattern got a takedown notice from the cup company. But if you'd like one, you can drop me a note and I can make another for you.
