  Step 1

  design something in any version of photoshop.. you can change the color, put your name, your group's name.. etc. etc. etc..

• 

  Step 2

  make sure that the size of what you are designing fits your hand.. or else you could start all over. the best way to do it is to measure your hand and the desired with of the picture...

  then print...

• 

  Step 3

  carefully cut your picture....

• 

  Step 4

  glue it in another piece of paper... make sure the paper that you are using is a lot tougher than the one you used in the printing process... this adds support

• 

  Step 5

  so the back of the picture would be in a different color...

• 

  Step 6

  get some plastic covering... the ones used to cover stuff to give them some resistance to humidity and water...

• 

  Step 7

  cover the whole picture.. from top to bottom.. DO NOT LEAVE OPEN OR EXPOSED EDGES.. EVER!

• 

  Step 8

  (OPTIONAL) you can skip this step if you want. but if you want the plastic to really take the shape if the picture.. insert it in a thick book and leave it there for a while.. this way it will be easier to sew...

• 

  Step 9

  form it into a cuff...

• 

  Step 10

  and sew everything together...

  to lock it in your wrist, you can use buttons, popper stud snaps, hook & eye.. etc.

  in my case, i made fit my wrist perfectly that it just slips right in comfortably.. no need for locks...

• 

  Step 11

  you can glue on more buttons if you like... or any other bling..

• 

  Step 12

  and viola!!! you are done!!!!

Sweet idea! I gotta try this!
This would also be a good way to use up wrapping paper scraps that's too pretty to throw out!

awesoooome!!! but instead of sewing you can always iron it or laminate it then it will be stuck there for evaaah. or sew and laminate it so that if the edges do start to peel back the stitching will stop it going too far and vice versa
