I am experimenting. I thought this green strap bracelet looked springy so I added a flower. I also have straps in light blue and lavender. I added two smaller flowers on each side and didn't like it (for me). Looked a bit flower-girlish.
The 1" flower was made with a 3/8" by 8" strip of bright white fringed paper with a 1/16" by 3" yellow strip at the starter end.
I added my smallest Swarovski crystal so it would not cover up the yellow center. I adhered the flower with hot glue.
The strap has a textured cloth look but it is plastic. I'm going to wear it for a while and see how it holds up. I'm considering clear coating or glazing the flower.
