Made entirely from paper scraps scavenged from Hannah's 'bit box' the graphic circular designs of my focal points came from a vintage decorative dust jacket.I also made sure the insides looked attractive too. Perhaps this was because I liked the idea of things being beautiful from all angles; perhaps because I thought I might like to have it on display rather than wear it all the time; perhaps because I've got skinny wrists and I knew you'd be able to see the inside even when I was wearing it. Perhaps.
I never entirely feel that a project is complete until I've added some text: 
A few border stamps, a laminating pouch, a snippet of ribbon and a press-stud later I had a finished piece:
*If you'd like a PDF of the Banana Frog belt tutorial, which covers all the key techniques I used to make the bracelet, I've made one available for you to download *here*.
Combining items of stationary with patterned paper ... to make jewellery? What's not to try??
