"Bite me" Twilight cuffs

[grendelsmom]

DD and a couple of her buddies are going to the "Breaking Dawn" release party tonight.  I made wrist cuffs for them, and one for the Mom who is bringing them as a thank you for staying out so late for this!  I got an email this morning from the bookstore that they are having a contest for best homemade tee - the cuffs won't qualify, but I think the girls will be pleased with them anyhow. 

Bleach stencil using freezer paper (first time), covered buttons of same fabric for clasp, button and charm embellishments.

The group shot:


Detail.  DD gets credit for the design.  There are two hearts there, silver and bronze; they can be Bella and Edward, or Bella and Jacob, or Edward and Jacob, as you wish.

Dang, I wish I was one of your friends going with you to the release party! Those are amazing!

And thank you for posting this, I'm inspired to start my shirt now. A little last minute, eh?

i have no idea what "breaking dawn" is and i am not a huge fan of wrist cuffs, but I love the phrase "bite me". i'd so wear one of those for that reason alone. it would save me the time saying it out loud, lol.

Awesome!!!  I wish I was going with your daughter.  Ha ha.  I hope she has fun tonight!  I'm so crazy excited for it!

These are super cool, and you did such an awesome job with the freezer paper/bleach stenciling.

Thanks all.  I had fun with it.  I will remember to use a brand-new Exacto blade next time I do a stencil, especially if I am trying to reproduce a specific font!!  Now all I have to do is try to wrangle DD's copy out of her hands tomorrow!  Maybe we'll swap chapters (she reads two, then I read two) like we did with the last HP.
