ribbon bracelet Click image to enlarge Designer: Kendra McCracken The Ribbon Stamp Attachment for the Stamp Factory makes centering and stamping a clean image on a length of ribbon easy as can be. But it doesn't have to be relegated to use on ribbon alone. For this project, I used it to stamp an image on fabric and then created a funky and inexpensive bracelet using that fabric.

Instructions (Print version) Start by determining the dimensions of the finished bracelet. Mine is 1" wide by 6 1/2" long so I doubled the width and added a 1/4" seam allowance to each side. I also added extra to each end to allow for adding the clasps. This left my final dimensions at 2 1/2" x 7"  Next, use the Stamp Factory, Ribbon Stamp Tool, and Harlequin stamp set to add an image to the center of the strip. The Ribbon Stamp Attachment includes a plate that snaps onto the bottom of the Stamp Factory. The grid on the plate helps align the Stamp Factory over the material and the grid on the stamp plate helps align the stamp inside the Stamp Factory.
Then remove the pins, press the seam open, and use the Fiskars Fingertip tweezers to turn the fabric right-side out. If the fabric is one that unravels easily, use Fray Check on the edges prior to turning.  Add a fabric flower or other embellishment to the center of the fabric tube and attach a clasp to finish the bracelet.
