Soft Cuff Bracelets
Part 3 of 3
Have you been watching any of the Olympics on tv? I have - my favourite spectator sports are the synchronized diving and the gymnastics. So I couldn't pass up on this nod to sports.
But even if you're not into sports, you likely know someone who is. So these baseball cuffs available from Elsewares.com (no longer available) make great gifts for the sports fan in your life.
They are handmade using genuine leather baseballs and have been velvet lined for comfort. How the cuff maintains its curvature and fit is an invisible, bendable brass frame. Each bears the autograph of the designer but there is plenty of space left for collecting autographs from baseball stars.
The sizing is from small to medium so it will fit children, youths and women. The nice thing about the baseball cuffs is not just because it is soft and great for people who have metal allergies but that they are unisex.

You're coming up with some interesting jewelry lately! I don't see these on me - but I think it would be a cool thing to get autographed for sure!
ReplyDeleteIt's because I want people to be inpsired to try different things. Won't do to be doing the same design over and over again.
ReplyDeleteI had a baseball pattern idea for my leather scraps just like this bracelet a little while ago (but never got around to making it), this is just so well executed!! I love the one with the signatures all over it, that's much more useful than just a signed ball.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Diana. A signed baseball usually sits in someone's house where they can't enjoy it all the time and few people can admire it.
ReplyDeleteSo COOL! I've been a reader of your blog for a while, and you post lots of gorgeous stuff, but these are by far the most original pieces I've seen.

Thanks for being a loyal reader, Kristy! Stay tuned for more original pieces!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool idea. You always find the original stuff! Thanks for sharing Pearl :-)
ReplyDeleteThat has got to be the coolest thing I've seen in awhile! I'm not even a baseball fan and I'd wear that!
ReplyDeleteCan you help? How did you get the leather to lay flat---mine is retaining the curve-which going around the wrist that's fine, but it is "puffy" and sits up from the wrist. Can I get it to lay flat against the wrist somehow?
ReplyDeleteTeri - would the water hardening method work for your project? http://brassgoggles.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=26228.0
