Making Pants Bracelets: Measuring for Buttons

Video Transcript

"Now we're on to--we've already wrapped it around our wrist and we know that it's plenty big enough--but now we're going to kind of want to see exactly how big we need it. If you want to keep this whole piece right here, I would not recommend it, I would cut if off right here, so you don't have so much of a--like you're going to have about an inch and a half of overlap. So cut that off before you do anything, and then in one spot on your wrist, look at it from the underneath side and line up with your thumb. Hold on from that point to that point is exactly as big as your wrist is. So I'm going to make another table mark. I like making table marks. Here and here. That's as long as my wrist is. You can see that I have you know still about an inch and a half, maybe two inches, of excess material even though I cut a little bit off the front already. We're going to need to make a hole for the button and we can cut the excess off. So before we cut the excess off and ruin it we're going to just kind of visualize where we want the hole and make a line. I would make it about a quarter of an inch right in the center. You don't want it too big you'd rather have it way smaller than too big because then the button is just going to fall right out, so make your mark so that you can see, and then we'll make sure that that's in the right spot on the next step."
