A few weeks ago Crafty Chica sent me some lovely sugar skull patches from her new product line and I fell in love with them. I NEEDED to figure out what to do with them because I truly wanted to wear them some how, some way. On the instructions it said that they might not iron on to leather so I decided to use my gold standard glue, E-6000 and just put them right on the leather and not even worry about whether they could be ironed on! It worked and I’m so pleased!

You’ll need:

Crafty Chica’s Sugar Skull Patches OR some patches that you like
Vinyl or leather (enough to make a cuff)
E-6000 glue
Scissors
Leather punch
1/4″ wide ribbon in a color you like

Here’s How:

1. Make your cuff pattern and trace it on to the leather or vinyl

2. Mark dots 1/2″ apart all the way around

3. Punch them out with your leather punch

4. Thread the ribbon through the holes all the way around

5. Secure the ribbon ends with a knot and glue the ends down with E-6000

6. Glue on the patches with more E-6000

7. Cut your Velcro for the closures

8. Glue on the velcro on each side of the cuff

9. Let everything dry for AT LEAST 1/2 hour (or more)
