Step 1
Cut a strip of paper long enough to fit around your wrist.
Step 2
Cut out a bunch of pictures from magazines.
Step 3
Cover the paper in a collage of uniqueness.
Step 4
Cut two strips of clear vinyl and pin the paper in place.
Step 5
Sew around the edges of the paper, removing the pins as you go.
Step 6
Trim off any excess threads and the excess plastic.
Step 7
Press in popper studs at either side of the cuff.
Step 8
Your cuff is now ready to wear.

I have millions of page protectors to use for this! muahah >

also, if your machine's foot keeps sticking to the vinyl, you can put some tissue paper over the vinyl and stitch through that, then later it tears away pretty clean.
this is a great idea though! i'm going to try it with some page protectors i have lying around...

DON'T PIN VINYL!!! it's plastic, not fabric, so the holes never go away!
I've always heard you're supposed to use paperclips instead of pins...
