Sunday Football DIY

Yes, I titled this "Sunday Football DIY" because this is what I did today while Den watched football....and I talked to my mom and adorable niece on Skype! Isn't she beautiful?
I bought my supplies at Joann's, but you could probably find them at any craft/fabric store.
You will also need matching thread, needle, snaps, and Fray Check for the edges of the trim.

First, I sewed my beads onto the trim with a needle and thread. You could use any combination of beads, just match them to your trim, my beads are gold. Add as many or as little as you want!

It was sort of hard to get the edges of my trim to stop fraying, so I opted to sew over the edges with the matching thread:
Then I applied the Fray Check to reinforce it:
I sewed snaps on the edges to close it, you could also use hook and eye closures or maybe even velcro!
This is my final product:
It really looks great with several gold bracelets and other gold cuffs:
It was really easy and didn't take very long. Let me know if you attempt one, enjoy!
