Love buggies!
Today, I will show you how to convert a $ 3.50 metal cuff into a CC inspired cuff. The total cost of charms including cuff was $10 for the Coco inspired. The mirror cuff was $ 7.50. These finished cuffs do not look like $ 3.50.
You could mix and match charms and pick your own themes. None of the charms come together. I wanted to build upon my vision for these cuffs.
You could find higher quality cuffs but I wanted to challenge myself by using plan metal cuffs for this project. I also wanted to have a mirror on a cuff because I think it's a brilliant idea, as well as useful. You could try this on an acrylic or plastic bracelet as well.
Make sure you go through your own collection of jewelry. Break apart old pieces that you no longer use, like I did with the pearls and chain. No limit to your creativity!

I listed some links for you to start. Aliexpress

*** Every effort is always made to bring you comparable options online. I understand that not everyone is a L.A. resident. Here's a link to Aliexpress, they have various cuffs. I have not been able to find the plain black cuffs online. I hope this helps. I always tell the owners at the supply shop to start an online store. I hope they do!
