French style wrist cuff

 This is a beautiful up cycled wrist cuff crafted from the sleeve of a  bargain  bin wedding gown.I took the wrist part of the sleeve and added the handcrafted velvet flowers. I used vintage lace, a vintage button, silk ribbon, to create the design of the cuff.
 A back view of the cuff so you can see how pretty the covered button and loop closing looks.
                                               Here is a close up of the back.
This is some detail of the finishing touches on the front of the cuff. The ribbon is silk and the lace applique has crystals hand sewn to the centers of each flower. This is so lovely, a great formal look, and so very  Chic with jeans and heels.

French style mini pouch

Close up of the handcrafted flowers. These were made from gold satin and gold organdy, they were made by holding the petals over a candle to singe and curl the edges, they are held together by a crystal bead. The small flowers are crafted from satin ribbon and the leaves are made from silk ribbon.
You can see the vintage lace used for the trim at the top. I have added a vintage butterfly pin to compliment the flowers.
A full view, the pouch is aprox. 7" by 5" and is fully lined. It would make a fabulous gift bag, but how about an evening bag to hold just the necessity's.
