I was test-driving another project when I decided to take a break and wander through my craft supplies. I found some grosgrain ribbon and another strip of ribbon/trim of huge flowers (easily found in the by-the-yard ribbon area of your local fabric/craft store). I grabbed my needle and thread and a snap closure. That's it. Easy peasy.
Step 1: Cut off excess mesh backing from the flower/embellishment
Step 2: Cut ribbon about an inch bigger than the wearer's wrist.
Step 3: Sew the flower/embellishment to the ribbon by hand.
Step 4: Sew each half of the snap closure to the ends of the grosgrain ribbon.
Step 5: Snap on the wearer's wrist.

This really did take me three minutes to put together.
The sewing doesn't need to be amazing or precise (thank goodness.)
I'm going to be making another one of these in a day or two because I want to see how it reacts with a spray or two of fabric stiffener.
I also want to see if it works better with some other form of closure. The snap closure works great, but I'm too lazy to really sew it down to make sure it doesn't come back up.
