Shabby Cuff and Bag by GDT Elizabeth

Hello friends, Elizabeth here today, I am one of the Guest Designers for Shabby is Chic Boutique for the month of October 2016.

 I was inspired by SCB laces and designed this Handbag and cuff set using SCB laces and a few embellishments from my stash.

 

 

I began this project with SCB Canvas drawstring bag. I really wanted to use the wide pink lace in a project and soon realized that it wrapped perfectly around the pouch. I attached it to the bag and my inspiration was on a roll. I decided to add the dangle laces to the bottom to display the beauty of the lace and it gave the project beautiful movement.

 

 

 

 

Later, I decided to place another delicate lace with some ribbon at the top. I was a bit concerned about the drawstring I still wanted it to draw so I carefully attached the lace around it. Then I realized that the string was too thick and I replaced it with a thin pink cord that I found in my stash.

 

 

I decided that I wanted my elegant bag to have a handle. As I tossed around ideas I realized that I just might be able to make my own handle. I twisted some bead trim together to form an elegant handle. I finished it off with one of SCB stunning pearl embellishments. I wanted the beauty of the lace to be visible so I decided to use a flower from SCB collar lace. It was perfect just enough and not too much. I finished off the project by embellishing it with a few flatback pearls from my stash. SCB awesome heart embellishment added just a bit more elegance to the bottom of the bag.

 

 

Now for the elegant wrist cuff. I began this project with the idea that I wanted to bring many of the same elements of the handbag into the cuff. I had just enough of SCB stretchy lace to wrap around my wrist. I began layering similar laces as I did for the handbag.

 

 

 

 

 

  I ended by placing a combination of SCB bling, and some from my own stash in the mix. I hope you like my designs and are inspired to head on over to Shabby Chic Boutique Zibbet store, where you will find all the lovely laces I used.

 

Shabby Altered Cuff by DT Member Maggie White

Good morning friends, Maggie here today with my next DT project for Shabby is Chic Boutique on Zibbet.

 

 



 

This is a gold metal cuff bracelet that I adhered the embroidered tulle trim to the base.  I then added the embroidered white rose lace trim to the top and bottom of the cuff.  I then glued the white shell trim to the sides and then finished the sides with the white braided trim.

 

       I then added three small doily pieces to the front and glued the gold flower flat backs on top of   each doily piece.  Lastly, I added a rhinestone to each of the roses on the trim as well as the shell trim on the sides.

 

 

Inside of cuff I added a piece of beige felt to finish off the piece.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you have found some inspiration and will try this fun project yourself.

Shabby Altered Cuff by GDT Mimi C.

Here is a lace cuff that I created as my very 1st guest design team project for Shabby is Chic Boutique!

 

 

  I have never made a lace cuff before, so I had a great time creating this shabby lace cuff using all the beautiful trims, laces, and embellishments from SCB on Zibbet. The base of my cuff is made using the beautiful clustered rose venice lace.

 

 

  Layered on top of that is the super dainty pale pink flower trim. I then layered one of the beautiful butterfly appliqués from SCB and cut apart the butterfly dangle lace to get 2 smaller butterflies to layer on either side of the bigger butterfly appliqué. The main centerpiece is made from the folded tulle trim in blush. I actually cut the trim apart to make the luscious shabby flower topped with a crochet doily and a beautiful pearl and rhinestone bling piece from SCB.

 

 

  I cut apart the flower dangle trim and layered 3 of the flowers together and placed them underneath the shabby tulle flower I created. With the left over dangle pieces from the flower dangle trim I had left over, I tucked them under either side of the shabby tulle flower.

 

 

  I also added some of the 4mm flatback pearl trim in pink to give the cuff a little more dimension and color. Lastly, I sewed on some snaps to be able to wear this beauty on my wrist.
