  Step 1

  Take time selecting your ribbon. You may want to make a few samples to determine your preferences with regard to color, width and drape. The length and evenness of your stitches can have a dramatic effect on the volume of your bracelet. Remember, there is no right or wrong, just preference and personal taste so play with the process and have fun!

  Step 2

  With needle and a length of thread, stitch the first button into place 12-15 in (30-37.5 cm) from one end. With a running stitch, begin working across the length of ribbon in long, even stitches. The length of your stitches will affect the volume of your finished object so be consistent!

  Step 3

  Gather and compress ribbon together as you go, leaving 12-15 in (30-37.5 cm) at the end of piece. Compress gathers firmly by pushing toward the first button and knot the end of thread to hold gathers in place.

  Step 4

  Attach second button and trim ends. Tie ribbon lengths around your wrist, neck or head with a pretty bow.
