Gather your materials and plug in your hot glue gun.
Cut approx 5 1/2" of stretch velvet trim.
Be sure this length will fit comfortably around the widest part of your hand (keep in mind that it stretches). Adjust measurement if needed.
Cut an additional 2" piece of trim.
Use the 2" piece to join the bracelet edges together as shown (with hot glue). Let cool completely.
Cut 20" of pleated ribbon trim (or more, depending on how elaborate you wish to make your bow).
Fold in one hand, looping edges as shown, to begin bow shape.
Continue folding and looping to create a fully rounded out bow.
Thread needle.
Stitch through center of bow to keep layers in place.
Knot in the back once secure, and clip thread.
Apply hot glue to the back of your bow and press to bracelet cuff.
Press the cuff in your hands to be sure it dries securely in place (but be careful not to burn yourself).
Once the glue has cooled, choose the perfect brooch to pin in the center.
Slip the brooch pin through the bow and pin in place.
Now you're all wrapped up...
... and pretty as a present!
