The Ambience Enhancer

Step 41 Armband

Last part is the armband. This will wrap around and keep the thing on your arm. This is another place to try different ideas.

You could use part of an old belt from a thrift shop or found laying around the house. You could use a chain of some sort, or a few chains wrapped together. You might want to try a strap like those found on helmets, with 2 D rings on one end and a loose strap on the other.

But the simplest way to do it is an elastic band. A bit of a stylistic cop out, but more faster and more convenient in everyday use than the other options. If you only want to wear it as a costume piece once in a while you may want to make it one of the fancier ways.

I will be demonstrating the elastic band, as you can use what you've learned so far to make the other variations.

Cut a strip of 1 inch wide elastic to about 6 - 8 inches long.

I really liked your project. If I may, the use of an elastic band is quite fine if you are making it for yourself, but if you want to give it to someone it might be too tight or too loose, no? Maybe you could use a wristband like those found at sports stores. It would make the base design a bit more complicated though...
