fluffy bow bracelet with clou de selle twilly rings (can you tell i *love* these things? hehe)
^this makes a super cute choker necklace too!
OMG. I MUST have the to-do on this!! I bought the clou de selles, too, and love them.
Diva, pamella, Maedi, MaiTai and yeliab...thank you all so much for your kind words
For some odd reason I was thinking of this last night and realized that I made an oops......It isn't actually a twilly in my hair in this pic, but a gavroche...LOL I do wear twillies like this though

OK!
hopefully this works better than it did last time
piggy's fluffy twilly bow with clou de selle rings - for the purposes of this tutorial, twilly box will be playing the part of piggy's wrist (^(oo)^)
ONE
fold twilly in half lengthwise and insert one end through a small clou de selle ring
TWO
pull ~5inches of the twilly thru the ring, keeping the material folded; the easiest way to do this is to keep the folded end of the twilly taut with one hand, using the other to slide the ring further onto the twilly
THREE
repeat steps 1 & 2 with the other small clou de selle ring on the opposite end of the twilly, then wrap around wrist:
FOUR
slide the ends of the twilly through the large clou de selle ring in opposite directions
FIVE
pull tight around wrist and adjust so the two smaller rings are equidistant from the large one

take one end of the twilly and spread it relatively flat. bring the point across the top of the nearer small clou de selle ring, then tuck the point into the small clou de selle ring. you should be pushing the point towards the large ring. do not twist the twilly during this step! you need to keep the twilly flat, because this is what creates the fluffiness of the bow (^(oo)^)v
SEVEN
repeat on the other side, make any necessary minor adjustments, and you're (hopefully) done! \(^(oo)^)/

This is genius! Thanks for the hard work, taking pics, and explaining step by step!
I use my twilly lately as the guy on the pic no_1_diva posted, on my blazer jacket, it helps spicing up a conservative look. If I'm not too lazy tomorrow I'll post a pic!
