Scrap plastic and fabric bracelet--in progress

Got this piece of plastic from I forgot where, and noticed right away it was begging for a new life as a cuff bracelet:

I had some lovely brocade scraps I scarfed in a friend's cleanup last week which are just the thing for the project:


So far I've measured, cut and ironed the fabric, and just need to get out my machine to sew up the seam. I could do this by hand, but I really want it to stay. I plan to gather the fabric around the plastic and sew it up. Not sure what I'll embellish it with yet, but I'm going through my collection to see what works best. Finally I'll attach ribbon to the the underside so it doesn't irritate my wrist and looks more finished.

In between helping take care of my DH this week, who had shoulder surgery yesterday, I'll work on it more tonight.
