Ok, so I'm beyond thrilled with SCAL so far! I used it to try to replicate this cuff I found from Garnet Hill that I liked (http://tinyurl.com/yf9qbfv). I've had a piece of silver upholstery vinyl sitting around for months, just waiting for the perfect project. So when I saw the cuff I knew it was now time to try SCAL! This project went so well I might be adding some in different styles and colors to my Etsy shop! I need to play around with the scale and I might try doing some flowers or another shape too. Best of all: It was way cheaper than $52 to make!

Thanks so much for looking! (Sorry if I'm excited, but I just couldn't help it!)

I love your bracelet. However, you know you can't show us a pic and not explain how you did it!!! Does it clip in the back. Is it on some kind of stiff stuff. how did you do it??

Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments!!

Judy (btails): It was this vinyl: http://www.brentanofabrics.com/fabrics/ ... ID=3939-01 It's usually used for upholstering dining room chairs, bar stools, etc. It has a knit back on it and I just stuck the fabric, right side down on the mat (a new, extra sticky mat) and used my deep cut blade to cut out the shape.

Debra: Once it came out of the Cricut I just used my Crop-A-Dile to set a snap on it and it was good to go! I didn't have to add any backing to it, it was already thick enough by itself. I attached another picture of the snap on the back.
