I skimmed through craftgawker.com earlier and saw a picture of some fancy-schmancy ladylike pin cushion bracelet. So after I finished working on a sewing project (which I hope to finish sometime today and post later), I decided to bust out my own version of a pin cushion bracelet.
With my plethora of felt, I cut out a simple skull shape in bright green (two of them) and a couple of eye sockets and a heart-shaped nose in purple. Then I used black embroidery floss to stitch the eyes and nose on. I ran out of black, so I used red for the teeth. I had a small length of elastic, so I measured my wrist and stitch that on the back skull piece. I popped the face piece on top and sewed it all up with a pink zig-zag stitch, stuffing it with the polyfil before sealing the deal. Stuck a few pins in for good measure. Instant Brandification. :)
I might make another, just because this one was so quick and easy. Literally took me about fifteen minutes to make it. It's not perfect, but that's how I like it.
