I have made my own attempt at mounting a lace to a cuff bracelet. You will
find a picture in the "Kim Davis" folder. While I would love to do this
with better materials, I did not have much time and went with what I could
find in the house when I found myself with an hour to kill on Saturday. I
had reconstructed a piece of 16th century metal lace for an article I
wrote, which happened to fit the cuff bracelet I had on hand. I then found
some scraps of purple velvet.
I decided to make a tube out of the velvet. To keep it from walking I
placed a piece of cardboard the same width as the cuff inside. I then
pinned it tightly (with pins vertical) and sewed it together. This left me
with only one seam, which I decided to place on the center of the underside
of the cuff. I put some fray check on the seam after I cut it, just
because velvet always seems to fray for me. I then turned it right side
out, and placed the cuff through it. I mounted the lace onto it with pins
and sewed under the ends. It is not perfect, but it is a good start to a
new idea.
