Those arm bands.. from the wrist up toward the elbow..
do you measure? use a piece of wire for guidance? Fit to the wearer? and what the heck do you package them in??
I've done a couple but always wondered how to actually "fit to the wearer"?
I have a couple of "rebels" who want something different this year, not bad for a graduating class of less then 55.

There's another thread posted here recently where I gave advice on how we fit for those and they can be adjusted easily, there were other posts as well on pricing and construction.

I just made my first one like that ever, and of course it was on MD weekend. Lori at Affairs faxed me some directions and then I just improvised. When the girl came in I had her try it on and I only had to make a minor adjustment. Next time, I will make it a bit bigger around, as it was for the upper arm, or have them come for a fitting before I attach the flowers. But the girl loved it. Should have photogarphed it and put it on line but I didn't because IT WAS MOTHER'S DAY!
