Fabric Scraps + Toilet Paper Roll = Cute Cuff

I use paper towel rolls as ribbon holders and have been saving paper towel rolls for some time. I got uber bored the other night but didn't want to start on a sewing project because I would be leaving town for a couple weeks and I'd hate to leave it undone for so long. It came to me when I cut a pair of powder blue bermudas into mid thigh shorts. I loved the fabric and it looked really good with lace so I picked another fabric scrap and cut them into strips and began braiding them. I wanted a bracelet so I took the toilet paper roll and cut it about half an inch down.

After I braided it I used my hot glue gun and glued it onto the toilet paper roll, sewed a button on the one end, then put a piece of lace on it in a loop to fasten. Cute and only took like 20 minutes tops! Plus from the extra fabric I made a cute keychain, too!
