Pumpkin Button Bracelet

OK, I thought I dug pretty deep last week for My Pumpkin Challenge #1113 - Gifts.  Good thing I left the shovel handy!  This week, I finally played with one of my first ideas when I saw the Memo Medley Pumpkin Kit - making that weird orange band into a bracelet!
My original idea was to try to stamp it with Staz-On, and add some bling somehow, that I could also make some stretch with.  So, that was not a successful experiment, let's just say.  I'm sure all the Staz-On under my nails will come out eventually, lol!  Next up, some kind of ribbon wrap, with buttons and embellies - success!  I used a black gingham ribbon I found, to help set off the metal accents of the Ribbon Slides, and stuck mainly to the Regals Button collection for my color choices - I like it!  I went back around a second time to go criss-cross through the slides only, for added stability in taking the bracelet on and off.  It's actually quite comfie - though my daughter just ran off with it, so I guess I won't be seeing much of it!
