5 DIY cuff bracelets


Here are a few big bold DIY cuff projects, starting with my favorite, a starfish cuff molded from a real starfish.



Alana at Dream, Create used a craft store starfish, silicone putty and fimo.


Here's the iconic DIY Pamela Love cuff, also by Dream, Create.

You can get a somewhat similar chunky look with much easier tutorial using a store-bought cuff, polymer clay and a chunk of pyrite or a geode at Kit This.


Another of my faves - DIY lucite cuffs from Love Aesthetics.

 
A leather cuff with a cool hardware clasp from Alicia at Dismount Creative for Think Crafts.


Make a rhinestone cuff bracelet using a rhinestone ornament ($28) at Shine Trim.


Silvia at Born in 82 made this fur cuff bracelet with vintage buttons.


And the gold lace cuff from a doily at Burda Style. Also done by LHDC-TV and Runway DIY with gold paint.

Have you seen or tried any good DIY cuff projects?

    Thanks for the inspiration. In 1965, my girlfriends and I used to make bangles using heavy- duty cardboard tubes(cut about 1" or 2" wide), Paper-mache' and paint. I remember it was fun.
