Snow White Wrist Cuff

Lets finish off the Snow White extras today. 

One thing I have been seeing in Steampunk costuming is wrist cuffs. These can be layered or carved leather, metal, lace, fabric. Any shapable material.  I have wanted to try to make one and my limited ability is still best in fabric. This is my step by step. 

I cut out a fabric piece in this shape

Then made accordion folds

Then, realizing the back wasn't going to look too good,  I cut out a muslin backing, sewed it wrong sides together leaving an opening about midway on both sided to add ribbon ties later. Turned it right side out, reshaped the accordion folds and added some cool lace. Sewing the lace down to secure all the folds. 

I gathered items that I thought might work then eliminated most of them due to weight. The chains, charms and Seven Dwarves ended up on her belt chain. The scrolled frame is actually a dollhouse mirror. I covered the mirror with tape to repaint and glaze the detail then decided I liked a different shape more (it came in a 3 pack) I also used a tiny drill bit on my Dremel to drill a hole through the top and bottom of the mirror.  I sewed through that to attach it onto the cuff. 

This is what I decided on. Then sewed it all down with transparent thread. 

I don't have a clear shot of the cuff with her costume but took this to show how it ended up. Nothing too major. Just a fun extra detail. 

Still lots of photos loaded and awaiting attention. More should be coming soon. 

Have a wonderful sunday
