For this installment of Penelope Pop Mood I have decided to offer you a quick and easy project to use Thermoformable Felt and DHG Deluxe Faux Leather. The result is guaranteed.

The Pop Cleopatra Wristband made with Thermoformable Felt and DHG Deluxe Faux Leather

First you need to cut the thermoformable felt  (or faux leather) into a rectangle of 6 x 25cm.

Within this rectangle draw another 4 x 24cm rectangle. This is your basic template but measure against your own wrist / forearm and make any necessary adjustments to avoid mistakes.  All you need is a tape measure. I have chosen generous  proportions in order for it to fall over the cuff. Measure 3 cm in and then draw 1 cm horizontal line apart from each other (up to 18cm) leaving 3 cm at the other end.

Now cut the rectangle along the edge as I did.

Practice these cuts along the drawn lines.  Use a cutter or a ruler in order to go straight.

To complete the writband you just have to close it.  You can do this by using press stud buttons, on the thermoformable felt and faux leather which are easy to apply or steam press together.  Perhaps  with a nice contrast  stitching. I have even created a second writband using a different color which I have stitched to the first one. Make sure to put it in a offset  position.

And here they are. Thermoformable felt and faux leather writband. Different colors and materials to mix and match how you like.

We find them fun and lovely! And you?
