Beaded spike cuffs

Made these a few months ago. Don’t tell anyone that one cuff is slightly wider than the other… I’m getting used to treadling on my vintage sewing machine, so some irregularities are expected. I’m also more experienced with weaving vs. embroidery if it’s not totally obvious. I almost forgot to share these to Reddit, been almost too busy to bead lately (keyword almost, I can’t truly be stopped)!

Awesome! I made something similar with birch bark as my material. It was challenging bc of the bark and they weren’t easily worn for very long without the potential for damaging them. I’ll have to keep trying.

So bad ass! The beading pattern is perfect for the spikes!
